Red Wings aim for sixth straight win

Jan 19, 2007 - 2:26 PM Detroit (30-12-5) at Columbus (17-25-5) 7:00 pm EST

COLUMBUS, Ohio (Ticker) -- The Detroit Red Wings go for their sixth straight win when they visit the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday.

As they have all season, the Red Wings have been stingy during their win streak. Their 122 goals allowed is the third-fewest in the league, and they have only surrendered 10 during their recent surge.

Goaltender Dominik Hasek has been solid all season, as his 2.00 goals-against average is the second-lowest in the league and his 25 wins is third in the NHL. He only had to make 14 saves in Detroit's last win, a 5-3 triumph over the Nashville Predators on Wednesday.

Tomas Holmstrom has also been on a hot stretch, as he has a six-game points streak going in which he has six goals and four assists.

The Blue Jackets are struggling in going 2-4-1 in their last seven games. Columbus lost its fourth straight, 4-0, to the Nashville Predators on Thursday.

Offense had been a problem for Columbus during its recent woes, as the Blue Jackets have only scored six times in its last four losses.

Columbus' leading scorer, right wing David Vyborny (10 goals, 29 assists), has not scored a goal in 11 games and only has three assists in his last nine games.
