Red-hot Zetterberg hopes to lead Red Wings to sixth straight win

Dec 9, 2007 - 2:33 PM Carolina (16-11-3) at Detroit (20-6-2) 5:00 pm EST

DETROIT (Ticker) -- Henrik Zetterberg will look to build off his second career hat trick as the Detroit Red Wings seek their sixth consecutive victory when they host the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday.

The 27-year-old Swede notched three goals in Friday's 5-0 triumph over the Minnesota Wild. He has five tallies and two assists over his previous three contests.

Zetterberg's effort has propelled Detroit to the league's best record. The left wing leads the club with 21 goals and 40 points this season. His linemate, Pavel Datsyuk has 11 tallies and a team-high 23 assists - with many of those helpers coming on Zetterberg's goals.

Detroit's winning streak currently is the second-longest in the NHL, trailing only a nine-game run by the New Jersey Devils. The Red Wings also won nine in a row this season from October 18-November 9.

The Hurricanes are coming off a 5-1 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday. They own a six-point lead atop the Northeast Division.

Ray Whitney scored two goals and set up another in Saturday's victory. The 15th-year veteran has 14 goals and 30 points on the campaign.
