Vancouver, British Columbia — Many of the things the Red Wings haven't been good at lately, Thursday they turned around and did well.
And it produced a needed victory, 1-0 over the Vancouver Canucks.
Goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic stopped 43 shots for his second shutout, the Wings killed three Vancouver power plays (two in the third period), the Wings had a good start to the game, they scored the first goal of the game, and Pius Suter ended an 11-game point-less streak with a goal.
The Wings were good defensively, and applied quite a bit of offensive pressure, although Vancouver goalie Thatcher Demko (34 saves) was nearly as good as Nedeljkovic.
