NHL: Detroit 5, Columbus 2

Niklas Kronwall racked up a three-point night with a goal and two assists Tuesday in the Detroit Red Wings' 5-2 win over Columbus. After the Blue Jackets went up 2-1 early in the third period on a shorthanded, unassisted goal by Derek MacKenzie, the Red Wings erupted for four unanswered tallies to win going away. Valtteri Filppula, Henrik Zetterberg and Johan Franzen each notched a goal and an assist, while Jan Mursak also found the net as Detroit broke a three-game skid. Joey MacDonald earned the triumph with 28 saves. Rick Nash also scored for Columbus. Curtis Sanford yielded five goals on 25 shots for the losers.
