The Red Wings took out Los Angeles when they walked out to a second period lead. The Joe was rocking but again fans complained about the addition of an organ at the game. Everyone was on their feet to watch, and applaud, a video shown after Nick Lidstrom netted his 1000th career point on a shot-pass deflection from Zetterberg.
The Wings gave up a goal midway through the third, but Kirk Maltby slammed a goal home shortly after to return the goal margin to two goals. The Joe went crazy.
The Wings finished with a full ice, empty net goal by Brian Rafalski in the closing seconds. It was an exciting night at the Joe and the Wings looked more like the team that everyone is familiar with.
