Zetterberg, Red Wings face Wild seeking third win in a row

Feb 21, 2009 - 3:15 PM Detroit (39-12-8) at Minnesota (28-24-4), 8:00 pm EST

ST. PAUL, Minnesota (Ticker) -- Henrik Zetterberg and the Detroit Red Wings aim for their third consecutive victory Saturday when they visit the slumping Minnesota Wild.

Zetterberg scored a goal and set up two others, leading the Red Wings to a 5-2 triumph over the Anaheim Ducks on Friday in a meeting between the last two Stanley Cup winners.

His linemate, All-Star Pavel Datsyuk, recorded a goal and an assist for the defending champions, who have won eight of their last 10 contests.

"I think we had a good game," said Zetterberg, who has recorded five points over the two-game winning streak. "We got off to a good start. It's a good mix on our line."

The Wild are coming off a 3-2 overtime setback to the Calgary Flames on Thursday. Dan Fritsche and Colton Gillies had the goals for Minnesota, which has dropped three straight games for the first time in 2009.

Sitting in 10th place in the Western Conference, the Wild are two points out of the final playoff spot.
