To put it mildly, Ty Conklin has struggled in his efforts to back up All-Star Jimmy Howard between the pipes for the Wings.  Coming into Dallas on Tuesday night he had won 2 of his previous 7 starts this season; posting a save percentage of under .900 (Jimmy Howard is around .930, for comparison). Ty stood strong Tuesday night, stopping 25 of 27 shots in route to a 3-2 shootout victory for Detroit.  The two points put the Wings back atop the Western Conference, at least for tonight. “It was good for (Conklin) because he hasn’t done a ton of winning this year, so good for him to get a win,” Red Wings Coach Mike Babcock said.

Red Wings vs Stars Recap 1.17.2012

Via Nightmare on Helm Street  |  January 17, 2012
Good road win by Detroit. Dallas was banged up and Detroit took advantage of a bounce or two to get the extra point.Jump for the full recap: Conklin with the win. Seems that he starts slow and then picks his play up as the game goes on. Not saying that he's completely out of the dog house, but a win is a win. Honestly, if not for Dallas being allowed to score with broken sticks...

The Detroit Red Wings are nearly unbeatable at home. On the road -- not so much.

Detroit Red Wings goalie Jimmy Howard left Sunday's game against the Chicago Blackhawks after the first period. He gave up one goal on five shots and the score was tied 1-1. There was no word on why Howard was removed from the game, and he was back on the bench early in the second period. Howard, who missed eight games last month with a broken finger, was replaced by Joey MacDonald...

The Detroit Red Wings’ 3-2 shootout victory over the Phoenix Coyotes, I daresay, kinda played out the way I thought it would: the Wings were just sloppy enough—and their power play was bad enough, going a hideous 0-for-5 in 10 minutes of PP time—to give the Coyotes both the first goal and a game-tying goal directly after Gilbert Brule got out of the penalty box...
