The Detroit Red Wings’ lone goal yesterday happened with Givani Smith and Taro Hirose both on the ice. Off a dump in by Christian Djoos, Smith flew past two Stars, fished the puck out of the endboards, and sent it around to a waiting Hirose by the Stars net. Hirose centered a pass, which ended up banking off a skate, to a waiting Vladisav Namestnikov, who backhanded the shot in.
