Detroit — So, of course, with many of the Red Wings top offensive players missing due to injuries, the Wings explode for seven goals Thursday and win.
And Jakub Vrana got most of them.
The newly acquired Vrana was spectacular with four goals, as the Wings defeated Dallas 7-3, the seven goals a season-high for the Wings.
It's the Wings' first victory over Dallas in the four-game series this week, which concludes Saturday at Little Caesars Arena.
This, despite the fact the Stars desperately needed this game in a playoff chase while the Wings are decimated with injuries and trying to escape last place in the Central Division.
