Andreas Athanasiou's stellar game-winner combated a lousy start, which included an early 2-0 deficit, for the Detroit Red Wings tonight at Joe Louis Arena.
The forward scored on a breakaway just 1:46 into the third period of the Red Wings' 6-3 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins.
After he crossed into the zone, Athanasiou deked Pittsburgh defenseman Justin Schultz and then flipped in a score over Pittsburgh goaltender Marc-Andrew Fleury for his ninth goal.
Jared Coreau stopped 28 shots for the Red Wings, who are 18-19-6 after winning only their third home game since Nov.
