It was Detroit’s fifth consecutive loss in which they’ve only scored five goals. Minnesota beat the Red Wings 1-0 in Minnesota on Saturday night.

“We’ve been struggling as of late, scoring goals, and getting pucks in. You have to continue to shot the puck and get chances that way, “Red Wings’ captain Nicklas Lidstrom said. “The effort has to come from us. You have to keep shooting the puck, and that has been the case.”

Mikko Koivu had a goal and an assist for the Wild and Josh Harding stopped 36 shots. He was also in goal and made that many saves in shutting out Detroit on Saturday night. His last four games have been against the Red Wings.

Harding has played in all three games between the two teams this season, which has been his only action, and his previous game was against Detroit during the 2009-10 season before he missed the rest of that season and all of 2010-11 because of injuries.
