Red Wings Get Shootout Victory Over Montreal November 21st

The Detroit Red Wings stormed into Montreal with a flourish dominating the 1st period getting 2 power play goals while the Canadiens spent most of the period in the penalty box and were outshot by the Red Wings 16-3. Detroit, who are always amongst the least penalized team had only one minor penalty in the game. Montreal got their penalty problems sorted out and took the only other penalty, a 3rd period delay of game by Maxim Lapierre for shooting the puck over the glass.

Brad Stuart and Pavel Datsyuk put Detroit up 2-0 in a two minute span of the 1st and Michael Cammalleri got his 10th and 11th goals of the season in the 3rd to tie it after a scoreless 2nd period. Andrei Kostitsyn assisted on both of Cammalleri's goals. The teams went through the overtime period still all tied up and went into the shootout where, once again, Detroit showed their stuff, with both Henrik Zetterberg and Datsyuk scored on Carey Price while Cammalleri was stoned by Detroit's Jimmy Howard and Tomas Plekanec missed.

Detroit, now 7-2-1 in their last ten games, head to Nashville to face the Predators on Monday, while the Habs hit the road to play the Penguins on November 25th.
