commentary...

Jiri Hudler scored two goals,as the Red Wings held off Dallas Stars,5-4,in a wild and frantic third period... Red Wings held four two goal leads(2-0,3-1,4-2,and 5-3)in game,but could not stop Dallas,from cutting lead to one,four different times,but Dallas could not get equalizer,at end of game... Red Wings played well enough on defense,to keep Dallas away from Jimmy Howard,who did not have his best game,in net,in last five minutes of game,as Dallas were kept to the fringes of the Red Wings' defensive zone,scraping around,for the puck... Dallas Stars' Michael Ryder scored two goals,including the two last goals,by Dallas,one with 5:53,left in game,but Dallas got no closer,than one... Red Wings are one point behind Chicago,in the NHL Central Division,and are two points,from being the top team in NHL,behind Chicago,and New York Rangers,and tied with Vancouver,but are fourth in Western Conference(the division leaders are the top three seeds,in NHL)...
