(Newser) – The Detroit Red Wings overcame a third-period deficit with two goals, including the winner by Dan Cleary at 9:04 to defeat the Phoenix Coyotes 3-2. The league's top team got 24 saves from Chris Osgood and its top scorer, Henrik Zetterberg, netted his 17th goal of the season, reports the AP. Elsewhere on the frozen pond tonight:

  • The Ottawa Senators laid another egg, posting their sixth straight loss, this time to the New York Rangers 5-2. Brendan Shanahan had two goals and captain Jaromir Jagr played inspired hockey for the second straight game.
  • The Dallas Stars finished a road stretch against the Atlantic Division with three wins after defeating the Flyers 4-1.
