Detroit — Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg enjoy being linemates and history has shown the two usually produce goals.
Back together Monday, the duo struck for two quick third-period goals as the Red Wings defeated the Florida Panthers 3-0.
Datsyuk scored his seventh (power play) and eighth goals of the season — Zetterberg assisting on both — as the Red Wings earned two crucial points in the standings with their second consecutive win on a five-game homestand.
BOX SCORE: Red Wings 3, Panthers 0
“We’ve played on the same team for many years and basically seven years since we really played with each other for a full season (as linemates),” Zetterberg said.
