Final
Red Wings look to continue success after dismal skid
Feb 7, 2009 - 12:44 PM Edmonton (26-22-3) at Detroit (33-11-7), 3:00 p.m. ESTDETROIT (Ticker) -- The Detroit Red Wings have seemingly shrugged off their season-high losing streak.
Seeking their third straight victory, the Red Wings host the Edmonton Oilers in a battle of Western Conference foes on Saturday.
Detroit had suffered through a five-game losing streak for the first time since dropping six straight from February 7-17, 2008, but rebounded with two victories this week.
The Red Wings defeated the St. Louis Blues, 4-3, in a shootout on Monday and then posted a 5-4 triumph over the Phoenix Coyotes two nights later.
All-Star Marian Hossa netted two goals in each of those contests and has registered eight tallies and 11 points in his last 10 games.
With this contest, Detroit wraps up a three-game stretch at home, where it is 18-4-2 this season.
Edmonton, which begins a three-game road trip, snapped a two-game losing streak by recording a 2-1 shootout win over the Blues on Thursday.
