What does 10 straight games with points get a team?
A bonus off day, and within seven points of the hottest team in the Eastern Conference.
The Detroit Red Wings got an unscheduled break Sunday after extending their point streak Saturday by rallying to beat Nashville in overtime. They next play Tuesday at Washington, then return home Thursday to host the Canadiens, who top the East at 41 points. As of Sunday, general manager Ken Holland told the Free Press there are no plans to call up anyone, as there are 12 forwards available.
The Wings improved to 7-0-3 in their last 10 on the strength of beating the Predators, 5-4.
