Bernier injured, Red Wings win 3-2 behind Fabbri hat trick

Detroit — The Red Wings won but that wasn’t the main news in this game.

Yes, the 3-2 victory over Dallas behind three Robby Fabbri goals, in what was another fine step for a Wings’ team that’s won three of four games against the best teams in the division.

But the Wings (10-17-4) also suffered what might be a big, big loss.

Goaltender Jonathan Bernier, who has arguably been the Wings’ best player, was injured with 1:28 remaining in the second period, left the game, and didn’t return.

Bernier was reaching for a puck to the left of his net when Stars forward Denis Gurianov fell on top Bernier, who lay on the ice and then had to be helped off.
