No matter what the records are heading into the game, it is always extra special to pick up a win over the Chicago Blackhawks and that is exactly what the Detroit Red Wings did on Friday night by picking up a 2-1 win at Little Caesars Arena.

After a scoreless first period, the Red Wings scored two-straight second-period goals (Bertuzzi and Fabbri) before Patrick Kane cut the lead to one by scoring at the 18:55 mark.
The two goals were all the Red Wings would need as Jonathan Bernier was a wall in net, stopping 32-of-33 Blackhawks’ shots.

With the win, the Red Wings are now 16-48-5 on the year, which is still good enough for last place in the NHL by a wide margin.
It has been a very difficult season for the Wings, but at least they got a split with the hated Blackhawks!
