Henrik Zetterberg's marker broke open a tie game late in the second period and Justin Abdelkader struck on the power play with two minutes gone in the third. It was Zetterberg’s 800th NHL game. Goalie Petr Mrazek had 28 saves and shut down the Flames for the final 14 minutes for the win. The Wings are in Washington on Saturday night.
Pro Bowl
Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson will not play in this year's Pro Bowl because of his injured right ankle. Johnson finished the season with 71 receptions for 1,077 yards and eight touchdowns and had been selected to his fifth straight Pro Bowl. The NFL announced yesterday that Johnson will be replaced by New York Giants rookie receiver Odell Beckham junior. Safety Glover Quinn and defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh will represent Detroit at the Pro Bowl, which will be held in Arizona later this month.
Winston to NFL
Jameis Winston has decided to enter the NFL Draft after two years as Florida State's quarterback. Winston's camp had initially indicated that an announcement wouldn't come until after the College Football Playoff national championship game next Monday.
However, ESPN on Wednesday morning cited Winston's father as saying his son has decided to enter the NFL Draft and Seminoles coach Jimbo Fisher later in the afternoon confirmed it in a statement.
