<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.wingingitinmotown.com/">Detroit Red Wings</a> took on their division rival <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.secondcityhockey.com/">Chicago Blackhawks</a> at the United Center on Friday night. Winners of two straight, the Red Wings defeated Chicago twice on the road last year (their only wins against the Blackhawks), but couldn't even up this season's road record (9-11), falling to the Blackhawks 3-2. </p>
<p>Detroit scored first, but <span>Jonathan Toews</span> scored his 21st goal of the season to tie it at one on a penalty shot. Detroit re-took the lead in the second period on a tip in by <span>Todd Bertuzzi</span> off a Mike Commodore slap shot. Just over two minutes later, former Wing <span>Marian Hossa</span> was allowed to circle the entire Detroit zone and slap one past <span>Jimmy Howard</span> to tie it back up. </p>
<p>In the third period, <span>Brent Seabrook</span> scored on a one-timer from <span>Patrick Kane</span> 1:52 into the period to give Chicago the difference maker. Detroit had a few opportunities to tie it, including a shot hitting the post around the nine minute mark, but couldn't get anything more by <span>Corey Crawford</span>, who stopped 26-of-28 shots he faced. </p>
<p>Detroit is back on the ice tomorrow vs. St. Louis at the Joe. </p>

<p>For more on the Detroit Red Wings, go to <a href="http://wingingitinmotown.com" target="new">Winging It In Motown</a>.</p> <p>Now on one of their patented winning streaks, the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.wingingitinmotown.com/">Detroit Red Wings</a> will face one of their biggest rivals on Friday when they hit the road to take on the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.secondcityhockey.com/">Chicago Blackhawks</a>. After a win in their last outing and a couple days rest, the Red Wings are looking for their third-straight win, having beat the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.stlouisgametime.com/">St. Louis Blues</a> 3-2 in their last outing and the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.ontheforecheck.com/">Nashville Predators</a> by a mark of 4-1 before that. This will actually be the first time thee two rivals meet this season, the first of six.</p>
<p>Chicago is trying to avoid a losing streak after being shutout by the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.jewelsfromthecrown.com/">Los Angeles Kings</a> on Wednesday. The Blackhawks had previously won two straight games in dominating fashion, beating the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.habseyesontheprize.com/">Canadiens</a> 5-1 and the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.jacketscannon.com/">Blue Jackets</a> 4-1. This is one of the more anticipated games of the season, due in part because of the fact that they haven't played this season up until this point. Last season, Chicago took four of six, but it was the Red Wings who almost prevented them from making the playoffs by winning the last meeting.</p>
<p>Detroit has been really hit-or-miss this year, with the former generally being at the Joe Louis Arena and the latter being on the road. They've got a 14-2-1 record at home, the best home record in the Western Conference, while they sport just a 9-10-0 record on the road. Detroit did, however, pick up both of their wins over the Blackhawks on the road, so that's a definite plus.</p>
<p>Both teams feature an all-star roster and every preview should talk at length about them. At this point, it'd just be a list of names though, with standouts like <span>Pavel Datsyuk</span> and <span>Corey Crawford</span> to name. Crawford is going to get the start on Friday for his fourth-straight after sitting for six games, and boasts a 4-1 record over the Red Wings. Datsyuk has a four-game points streak going on now.</p>
<p>The game is set for 8:30 p.m. eastern on Friday.</p>
