Red Wings explode offensively in wild 7-5 victory over Winnipeg

Detroit - The Detroit Red Wings haven't scored many goals lately but sure did Tuesday, and needed them all.

The Wings defeated the hard-charging and explosive Winnipeg Jets 7-5 to end a three-game losing streak.

After only scoring four goals during those three losses, the Wings exploded for three goals in the first period then had to keep adding whenever they could against the Jets.

Winnipeg's Nikolaj Ehlers cut the Wings' lead to 5-4 just 33 seconds into the third period. But Robby Fabbri scored his second goal since returning last week from knee surgery, redirecting Gustav Lindstrom's shot at 1:52, restoring a two-goal Wings' lead.
