Detroit — Bert and Ernie scored for the Red Wings Tuesday, but it was the Columbus Blue Jackets who played the role of Oscar the Grouch.
Specifically Columbus forward Pierre-Luc Dubois, who broke a tie early in the third period and sent the Jackets to a 5-3 victory.
Tyler Bertuzzi had a power-play goal and Adam Erne scored his first two goals as a Red Wing, but it wasn’t enough.
