(SportsNetwork.com) - The Detroit Red Wings aim to extend their longest winning streak of the season to five straight games on Tuesday night as they play host to the Florida Panthers. The Red Wings closed the month of November on a roll, beating Vancouver 5-3 on Sunday to improve to 8-2-1 in their past 11 games. Pavel Datsyuk scored twice versus the Canucks, giving him nine goals and 15 points in 13 contests this season. Gustav Nyquist, Niklas Kronwall and Danny DeKeyser all lit the lamp for the Red Wings, while Jimmy Howard stopped 30 shots in the win. Detroits opener of a four-game homestand was delayed for about a half hour less than a minute in after a power surge affected some of the lights in the arena. In the end, we got two points, thats what matters, said Detroit forward Henrik Zetterberg, who had two assists. We played a good team here today and its nice to see that we can get some goals. Detroit forward Justin Abdelkader left the game with a shoulder injury and is day-to-day, though unlikely to play tonight. The Panthers hope to rebound after having a two-game winning streak halted with a 2-1 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday night. Rookie defenseman Aaron Ekblad had his clubs goal, giving him three tallies and 12 points on the season. With Roberto Luongo not starting for a second game in a row due to an upper- body injury, Al Montoya made 21 saves in defeat. These are the games that we have to have, said Montoya. Some nights you need to slug it out 2-1, and we werent able to do that. Luongo did back up last night and may start this contest. He is 7-5-5 this season with a 2.33 goals against average and .927 save percentage in 17 starts. The Panthers won three of their five meetings with the Red Wings last season, winning both trips to Detroit.

The right-handers injury while running to cover first base is a big loss that overshadowed the Los Angeles Angels seventh win in eight games. "Winning the game, obviously, its always important, but its secondary to what happened," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said after an 8-3 win over the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday night. "This is a tough night for us. Well just see where Garrett is. Obviously, its a significant injury." Richards, 13-4 with a 2.61 ERA, left after 1 2-3 innings with a patellar injury. He will be re-evaluated in Los Angeles on Thursday. "I had a chance to talk to him," Angels pitcher Jered Weaver said. "He just wanted to know what the story was. He wasnt feeling too much pain when he was on the table. When the doctor came in and told him that he might have done something to his patellar tendon and there might be surgery involved, he kind of lost it." The injury cast a cloud over a strong game by Josh Hamilton, who broke out of a 5-for-41 slump with two hits and three RBIs. Before Tuesdays game, he took extra batting practice. "Clearing my head and just remembering what it was like as a little kid, in high school, to go out and take BP and have fun," Hamilton said. "It sure helped." Richards left trailing 2-0. Boston made it 3-0 on David Ortizs homer in the third off Cory Rasmus (3-1). That gave Ortiz his eighth 30-homer season with Boston, tying Ted Williams club record. Ortiz went 4 for 4 and is 8 for 10 in the series with four walks. Alex Hassan pinch hit for him in the ninth and grounded out. "He was starting to get a little sore. Hes obviously been on base this entire series, and he started to get some tightness," Boston manager John Farrell said. The Angels scored a run in the fourth on a double by Hamilton and an RBI single by Kendrick, and added five in the fifth. Clay Buchholz (5-8) took a 3-1 lead into the fifth but let the first six batters reach base. That sent Boston toward its fourth straight loss and the Angels to a 1 1-2-game lead in the AL West over the Oakland Athletics.. "Just missed location with a coupple of pitches and they were able to put a big inning together," Buchholz said.dddddddddddd The Angels loaded the bases on a single by Erick Aybar, a walk to Chris Iannetta and a single by Efren Navarro. A walk to Kole Calhoun drove in a run, and Los Angeles tied it when Mike Trouts popup to short right field dropped in. Calhoun was forced out at second after holding up to see if the ball would be caught. The next three batters drove in runs: a single by Albert Pujols, a sacrifice fly by Hamilton, and a single by Kendrick. Richards left the field on a stretcher after being hurt on a potential double-play grounder. Brock Holt grounded to first baseman Pujols, who threw to shortstop Aybar for the out at second. Richards fell while running to first for a return throw, but Aybar spun and threw instead to third where Xander Bogaerts, who had run past the base, dove back safely. "Garretts taking this hard," Scioscia said. "This is a huge blow for him." TRAINERS ROOM Angels: Hamilton played centre field as Trout was switched to designated hitter. Scioscia said nothing was physically bothering Trout, but he wanted to give him some rest.
