Detroit — At least New Year’s Eve was a little more enjoyable for the Red Wings and their fans.
It’s been a brutal season thus far, there’s no denying that, but the Wings made New Year’s Eve an enjoyable experience with a 2-0 victory over San Jose.
Tyler Bertuzzi, celebrating getting named to the All-Star Game, scored a goal and Filip Hronek added an empty-net goal with 40 seconds left, while goaltender Jonathan Bernier stopped 34 shots.
The victory ended a six-game losing streak for the Wings, who’ve only won three of their last 21 games (3-18-2).
