Ducks Earn Point, But Cannot Snap Detroit's Home Win Streak in Shootout Loss

Anaheim came close to snapping the Red Wings' long home win streak, but ultimately fell just short 2-1 shootout loss.

Possibly the best opportunity for the Ducks to win it came in overtime, when Cam Fowler got loose on a breakaway with the teams skating 3-on-3. The defenseman had Detroit goaltender Joey MacDonald beat, but his shot rang off the post.

Pavel Datsyuk and Teemu Selanne traded scores in the first round of the shootout. Jiri Hudler and Corey Perry were each denied in the second round. After Todd Bertuzzi beat Ducks goaltender Jonas Hiller to start the third round, Bobby Ryan could not convert and the Red Wings secured their 19th straight victory at Joe Louis Arena.

The long home win streak, one short of the NHL record, began with a Nov. 5 win over Anaheim. Detroit tied the 1970-71 Boston Bruins for the second-longest home streak in NHL history. The 1975-76 Philadelphia Flyers and the 1929-30 Bruins won 20 consecutive games at home.

George Parros scored for Anaheim, and Hiller stopped 23 shots. An apparent goal by Anaheim's Niklas Hagman 3:35 into the second period was waved off because of Parros' penalty for goalie interference.

Jakub Kindl scored for Detroit. MacDonald made 29 saves in regulation and overtime.

Red Wings captain Nicklas Lidstrom played in his 1,549th game to tie former Detroit star Alex Delvecchio's NHL record for games with one team. It's also the second-most games played in Detroit franchise history, behind Gordie Howe at 1,687.

Parros scored his first goal of the season to open the scoring with 3:43 left in the first period. The Anaheim enforcer deflected in Rod Pelley's shot from the point.

Kindl tied it with 1:18 left in the opening period, beating Hiller with a wrist shot from the point. It was Kindl's second goal.
