Detroit — Maybe it didn't have the spark and emotion of years ago when the Red Wings hosted Chicago.
But on a cold Friday night in March — with both teams looking toward a long offseason instead of the playoffs — the crowd at Little Caesars Arena had plenty to get excited about in a 2-1 Red Wings victory over the Blackhawks.
Tyler Bertuzzi and Robby Fabbri (power play) had Wings goals, while goaltender Jonathan Bernier continued his fine play with 32 saves.
