Red Wings

The Detroit Red Wings three game winning streak was snapped with a 4-1 loss to the Penguins last night in Pittsburgh.  Stephen Weiss picked up his seventh goal for the Red Wings, but Detroit was never in it.  Petr Mrazek got the start in net and gave up four goals on 17 shots before he was replaced in the third by Jimmy Howard, who stopped all four shots he faced.  Mrazek compiled an 8-and-1 record in 10 starts while Howard was out of the lineup.  The Wings return home to host the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday.  Howard will start in goal for the Wings.
