Detroit got on the board at 6:08 of the first period as Glendening grabbed a rebound and roofed a backhander from the doorstep after Crawford stopped Drew Miller's point-blank shot from the slot. Chicago pulled even just over five minutes later as captain Jonathan Toews made a backhand pass across the top of the crease to Kane, who beat Howard from the bottom of the left faceoff circle during a power play.
Zetterberg intercepted a pass at the top of the slot and dished the puck to Franzen, who put a backhander past Crawford 4:49 into the second session after the netminder made a failed poke-check attempt to give the Red Wings a 2-1 edge. Tatar buried a rebound from the left circle 70 seconds later and Smith sealed the win with an empty-netter late in the third.
