Red Wings see positives out of penalty killing

Detroit — They won Wednesday to end a winless streak, but the Red Wings did see another streak come to an end and this one they wouldn't have minded go on a little longer.

The Wings' penalty kill saw a streak of 19 consecutive penalty kills come to an end Wednesday when St. Louis scored a first-period power-play goal.

Detroit goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic is shown during the second period of an October game against the Flames.

Disappointing for the Wings, to be sure.

But all the Wings did was come back later in the game, and kill two crucial Blues power plays in the third period with the game in the balance.
