Gustav Nyquist scored twice as the Detroit Red Wings grew their winning streak to four games.
The Wings used their speed and shot mentality to best the San Jose Sharks, 3-0, tonight at Joe Louis Arena. Jimmy Howard earned his second straight victory with 30 saves.
Nyquist used the second period to put on a dominating performance, showing great skill on both goals. Rookie defenseman Ryan Sproul collected his second assist in two games. Andreas Athanasiou scored his fist goal of the season, and Thomas Vanek added his fourth assist.
Justin Abdelkader, who’d provided a net-front goal the night before, missed the game because of a mid-body injury.
