What a dud of a farewell to Little Caesars Arena for the season.
The Detroit Red Wings had designated Monday as "fan appreciation night" because it marked the final home game of the season. But it was the Stars who were appreciative, as their efforts to lock up home ice through as many rounds as possible were boosted by a 6-1 drubbing of the Wings.
Ville Husso, who has been so key to the Wings' overall improvement this season, struggled for a third straight start and was pulled before the first period ended. Magnus Hellberg let in another three goals in relief.
