Wings post back-to-back wins, Gagner scores twice to down Jets, 3-1

For a team that hasn't had much go right, this was a satisfying two nights for the Red Wings.

The Wings completed a back-to-back sweep Wednesday with an impressive 3-1 victory in Winnipeg.

Michael Rasmussen continued his scoring surge with his fourth goal in five games, breaking a third period 1-1 tie and Sam Gagner had a shorthanded and empty net goal spurring the victory.

Rasmussen, becoming a net-front presence, carved out space in front of Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck (Walled Lake Northern) and whacked a loose puck for his 12th goal.

Coming off a hard-earned win Tuesday over Boston, the Wings (28-34-9) duplicated the effort, with goaltender Thomas Greiss stopping 32 shots to backstop the victory.
