Sports Roundup: Wings, Wolverines Win!
Red Wings
The Red Wings got back into action in Quebec last night after 18 days for the Olympics. Todd Bertuzzi scored on a power play goal in the first to give the Wings a 1-0 lead. The Wings held on to that lead until the final 28 seconds when Brian Gianta found the net to tie it at 1 and send it into OT. Gustav Nyquist scored the game-winner with under 30 seconds to play in overtime and the Red Wings beat the Canadiens 2-1 in Quebec. Jimmy Howard had 19 saves for the Wings. The Wings will face off against the Senators in Ottawa tonight.

Robinson led the Wolverines with 17 points, Nik Stauskas added 15 and Caris LeVert had 14.

Tigers
The Tigers had a 6-5 lead with two outs in the ninth against Atlanta when the rains got really bad, and they called it, giving Detroit the win over the Braves. DH and cleanup hitter Victor Martinez went 2 for 3 and knocked in two runs and second basement Hernan Perez had a clutch two-out two run hit to put the Tigers ahead in the top of the 9th. Drew Smyly started the game, followed by 7 relievers. The Tigers showed good speed on the base paths, and ran aggressively to get the win, in spite of 4 errors. The same two teams square off today at Joker Marchant Stadium. Ric Porcello will start for the Tigers. The game will not be broadcast locally, as the new owner of Sports 930 the Score, Midwest Communications, owner of the country station, does not want the games to be aired. WBCK-FM will bring you regular season Tiger games and a few of the spring training games. The first spring game on the radio is this Sunday.
