"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

The Red Wings fought, hit, skated and scored Monday to secure themselves a 17th straight victory at home.

Playing a tight and tense a game with the Blues that matched the two teams closeness in the standings, the Wings used two power play goals to win, 3-1, and take a three-point lead on the Blues in the Central Division. It's the seventh straight victory overall for the Wings.

Pavel Datsyuk, Johan Franzen and Niklas Kronwall produced the goals and Jimmy Howard protected a lead with several quality saves. Brad Stuart pasted Alex Pietrangelo along the boards and punched Chris Stewart in the face, providing the inspiration for a comeback in the second period.
