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 Wings win in regulation and Conklin only gets beat once.The game itself was kind of boring. Not much really happened until 12 minutes left in the third. Until then, Bachman was able to see almost every shot he faced. Then the Wings put a bunch more pressure on him and he was forced to make some big saves. He's a good goalie. Then again, you could tell that was his first NHL shootout. He bit hard on every deke and could easily have been scored on all three times.According to the box score, Detroit got a bunch of power plays tonight. However, two were under 20 seconds, so they never got to setup...
