Red Wings win 15th straight at the Joe against Buffalo, 5-0

Henrik Zetterberg scored the first of Detroit’s three goals in the opening period and Jimmy Howard had 27 saves that led the Detroit Red Wings to their 15th straight victory at home, breaking a franchise record set in 1965 with a 5-0 victory against the Buffalo Sabres. Todd Bertuzzi had a goal and two assists and Pavel Datsyuk set up three straight scores to give him 700 career points.

The Red Wings are 18-2-1 overall at home—where they have yet to lose since Nov. 3, 2011. They have the longest single-season winning streak by an NHL team at home since 1976 when Philadelphia won 20 in a row to match a league mark set by Boston during the 1929-30 season, according to STATS, LLC.
