Custom Raptors Jersey .com) - The Detroit Red Wings aim to head into the All-Star break with their longest winning streak in
almost three years as they battle the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday night at Joe
Louis Arena. The Red Wings have matched a season high with four victories in a
row and they sit second in the Atlantic Division with 61 points. That is two
ahead of the Montreal Canadians and one back of the first-place Tampa Bay
Lightning. Detroit has totaled 17 goals over its current winning streak, with 11
of those coming in the past two games. It matched a season high for goals in a
game on Sunday with a 6-4 win over the Buffalo Sabres. The Sabres led 3-0 after
the first period, but the Red Wings ripped off five straight goals to grab
control. Detroit scored three times in the second period to even the score and
Henrik Zetterberg then netted all three of his goals in the game in the final
frame. Zetterberg notched his sixth career hat trick and first since Feb. 1,
2013. I think its been a while, so its always nice to see the puck go in, said
Zetterberg of his hat trick. Gustav Nyquist and Tomas Tatar each posted a goal
and one assist for the Red Wings, who won for the sixth time in seven games.
Detroit hasnt won five straight since a six-game run from Feb. 8-19, 2012. While
Zetterberg upped his season totals to 14 goals and a club-high 41 points, Tatar
notched his team-leading 21st goal of the campaign. He has scored in four
straight contests, with five goals over that span, and was named the NHLs Second
Star for the week on Monday. Thomas McCollum picked up his first career victory
on Sunday as he made seven saves on eight shots faced in relief of Petr Mrazek,
who was lifted 13:37 into the game for giving up three goals on seven shots.
McCollum made just his second career NHL appearance and first since a near 15-
minute relief outing on March 30, 2011. With Jimmy Howard out with a groin
injury, Mrazek figures to get a shot at rebounding tonight. He has faced the
Wild once before and took a loss on Feb. 17, 2013 after yielding three goals on
24 shots faced. The Wild come in slumping, having had a two-game win streak
halted with last nights 3-1 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets. It was Minnesotas
seventh loss in nine games. Zach Parise scored in a third straight game, getting
his team-leading 17th of the campaign, but he also failed to convert on a
penalty shot in the second period to keep the game tied. Im always a big
believer in that you have to put pucks on the net if you want to score, said
Minnesota head coach Mike Yeo. Weve got the bodies to create traffic and
generate secondary opportunities, and we didnt have much of that tonight. In his
third start since being acquired in a trade with the Arizona Coyotes, Devan
Dubnyk allowed three goals on 23 shots to take the loss for the Wild. Minnesota
activated goaltender Darcy Kuemper off of injured reserve on Monday, giving it
three active netminders on the roster along with Niklas Backstrom. With
Backstrom struggling and Kuemper missing time with an undisclosed injury, the
Wild acquired Dubnyk to solidify the position. Kuemper, though, could start
tonight after missing seven straight games and has split two prior meetings with
the Red Wings while posting a 2.54 goals against average and .918 save
percentage. The Wild have won three of their past four versus the Red Wings,
including two straight in Detroit, and begin a four-game road trip tonight that
picks up in Western Canada after the All-Star break.
