Johan Franzen, Tomas Tatar and defenseman Brendan Smith also
scored for the Red Wings, who improved to 2-0-1 on their four-game
homestand. Jimmy Howard turned aside 25 shots for Detroit, which
hasn't lost in regulation at home since Oct. 11 against Anaheim.
Patrick Kane scored the lone goal for the Blackhawks, who had their
12-game point streak versus the Red Wings come to an end. Corey
Crawford finished with 33 saves.
Detroit got on the board at 6:08 of the first period as Glendening
grabbed a rebound and roofed a backhander from the doorstep after
Crawford stopped Drew Miller's point-blank shot from the slot.
Chicago pulled even just over five minutes later as captain Jonathan
Toews made a backhand pass across the top of the crease to Kane, who
beat Howard from the bottom of the left faceoff circle during a
power play.
Zetterberg intercepted a pass at the top of the slot and dished the
puck to Franzen, who put a backhander past Crawford 4:49 into the
second session after the netminder made a failed poke-check attempt
to give the Red Wings a 2-1 edge. Tatar buried a rebound from the
left circle 70 seconds later and Smith sealed the win with an
empty-netter late in the third.
