The Detroit Red Wings ended their losing streak in glorious fashion tonight by overwhelming the Anaheim Ducks 5-0 in Detroit.

Niklas Kronwall opened scoring (and game winner) with a blast from the top of the faceoff circle shortly after the end of a power play.

Henrik Zetterberg was next on the board followed by a pair of goals by Nicklas Lidstrom. Johan Franzen capped the night with the Wings’ fifth and final goal.

Detroit came to the ice to play tonight, quickly overwhelming Anaheim and taking a 16-1 lead in shots on goal. As frustration set in, Anaheim started making bad plays, gave up the puck and took some bad penalties. Ducks leading scorer Teemu Selanne got tossed from the game at the start of the third for mouthing off to the officials.

In Play! Men of the Game: Nicklas Lidstrom and Jimmy Howard. Lidstrom netted two goals and briefly took the lead in goal scoring on the team before Franzen tied them both up at five on the year. Howard notched a shutout, turning away all 22 on Anaheim’s shots.
