Surprising cast helps Red Wings defeat Predators

This was one of those games the Red Wings have had few of in the last couple of years.

Everything worked for the Wings, and many players made contributions (including some unexpected sources) as the Wings defeated the Nashville Predators, 4-2

The Wings (4-10-2) salvaged a split of the two-game series in Nashville — they went 2-4-0 on this trip — and now return to Little Caears Arena on Monday, against Chicago, to begin their own six-game homestand.

"We felt like we were playing well lately and not coming out with the two points," said. forward Adam Erne, who scored a goal. "That's our next step, coming away with these games and that was huge for us. Hopefully we can carry this to Monday."
