Third-period deluge fuels Wings' victory

Detroit — Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg enjoy being linemates and history has shown the two usually produce goals.

Back together again 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 a crucial two points in the standings with their second consecutive win on a five-game homestand.

Tomas Tatar broke a scoreless tie with his 16th goal at 4:19 of the third period, triggering the Red Wings' offensive explosion.
