Speed can kill, but in the NHL, you simply have to finish. On some nights, goaltending and grit win out, and that was the case for the Detroit Red Wings last night.
With 32 saves, Red Wings goaltender Jimmy Howard, in his first game of the season, put on a show in a match that at times resembled a shootout for the speedy Rangers, who fell to Detroit 2-1 at Madison Square Garden.
Drew Miller scored the winner for the Wings 59 seconds into the third period when Luke Glendening stole the puck from Henrik Lundqvist behind the net and fed Miller in front.
