GUSTAV Nyquist and Drew Miller scored 31 seconds apart midway through the second period and Pavel Datsyuk restored a two-goal lead in the third to help the Detroit Red Wings beat the Chicago Blackhawks 3-1 on Monday night to take a 2-1 lead in the second-round National Hockey League series.
Patrick Kane scored 4:35 into the third period to pull Chicago within one. The Blackhawks celebrated as if they tied the game about a minute later, but Andrew Shaw's goal was waved off because he was in the crease.
The seventh-seeded Red Wings have a shot to put the top-seeded Blackhawks on the brink of elimination in Game 4 on Friday.
Chicago has lost consecutive games for the first time in nearly two months.
The Blackhawks began the lockout-shortened season by setting an NHL record with at least a point in their first 24 games, ended it with a league-high 77 points and avoided having a three-game losing streak during the 48-game campaign.
After a scoreless first period in a hot and steamy Joe Louis Arena, Detroit took a 2-0 lead.
Nyquist patiently carried the puck from right to left and waited for defenseman Brent Seabrook and Crawford to sprawl out to make a shot before shooting the puck.
Miller crashed the net to stuff the puck into the net after Patrick Eaves got to his own rebound to keep pressure on Crawford.
It was a sixth straight goal for the Red Wings, who lost the opener 1-4 and gave up the first goal of Game 2 before going on to even the series with a 4-1 victory.
