Red Wings officially in playoffs with OT win over Nashville, 4-3
Admin Sun Apr 03, 2011 1:58 am
Danny Cleary tipped in Brian Rafalski’sshot 2:58 into overtime for Detroit’s fourth unanswered goal, leading the Red Wings to a 4-3 victory over the Nashville Predators that clinched their 20th straight playoff berth.
Justin Abdelkader had two goals, and Jakub Kindl also scored as Detroit improved to 2-3-2 in its last seven games. Rafalski finished with two assists and Jimmy Howard stopped 31 shots in his first game back after missing two with a strained left shoulder.
The Red Wings extended the longest active playoff appearance streak to 20 among North America’s four major professional sports. They also got to 100 points for an 11th straight season, extending their own NHL record.
But Detroit coach Mike Babcock was most impressed with how his team bounced back in this game after being down 3-0.
