Tommie Harris' wife dies
DETROIT, Feb. 12 (UPI) -- Jiri Hudler and Kris Draper scored 50 seconds apart midway through the second period Thursday night, igniting the Detroit Red Wings' 4-2 victory over Minnesota.
The Red Wings won their sixth straight game, equaling their longest winning streak of the season.
Marian Hossa had a five-game goal-scoring streak come to a halt, but he assisted on the goals by Hudler and Draper that lifted Detroit into a 3-1 lead.
Ville Leino made it 4-1 with 2:45 to play in the second and Chris Osgood protected the advantage in the final period.
Osgood stopped 21-of-23 shots to pick up his 18th win of the year. Detroit moved within a point of idle San Jose for the best record in the Western Conference.
Josh Harding made 39 saves to take the loss.
Brent Burns had a (power-play) goal and Mikko Koivu scored a short-handed goal for Minnesota, which has lost twice in its last six games.
