Drew Miller lit the lamp and also assisted on Darren Helm's decisive third-period goal as the Red Wings won their 23rd straight home game with a 3-to-2 victory yesterday over San Jose. Henrik Zetterberg found the back of the net in the opening period for Detroit, which hasn't lost at Joe Louis Arena since November 3rd.
They have also won six straight overall to improve their league leading record 41-17-and-2. Joey MacDonald kicked aside 31 of the 33 shots he faced in the win.
The Red Wings set the single season home ice winning streak record of 21 in-a-row last Tuesday by beating Dallas and then defeated Nashville Friday night. Sunday’s outcome gives Detroit the multiple-season record, surpassing the 22 straight wins recorded by Boston over 2 seasons more than 8 decades ago.
Tomorrow night, the Red Wings play at Chicago. Yesterday in the ECHL at Wings Stadium, Kalamazoo lost 4-to-3 to the Chicago Express.
