DETROIT -- Steve Yzerman scored twice and the Detroit Red Wings had three goals in each of the first two periods of a 6-4 victory against the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday night.
Pavel Datsyuk and Kris Draper each added a goal and an assist for Detroit. Mark Mowers and Henrik Zetterberg also scored, and Brendan Shanahan had three assists.
Matthew Barnaby and Curtis Brown each had a goal and an assist, and Michael Holmqvist and Patrick Sharp added goals for Chicago.
The Red Wings took a 3-2 lead in the first period and built on it in the second.
Zetterberg's power-play goal at 5:33, just 5 seconds after Rene Bourque was called for tripping, gave Detroit a two-goal lead when he tipped in Jason Williams' pass.
It was Zetterberg's 32nd goal of the season and fifth in four games.
Draper made it 5-2 with 9:26 left in the second period by tipping in a pass from Datsyuk.
Blackhawks goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin was then pulled and replaced by Craig Anderson.
Yzerman got his second goal with just 7.2 seconds remaining in the period when he put in a rebound off a goal-mouth scramble with the Red Wings on a 5-on-3 power play.
Sharp's goal came with 6:23 left in the third, and Brown added a short-handed tally with 5:30 remaining.
Barnaby opened the scoring just 1:08 in.
But the Red Wings got goals 1:43 apart from Datsyuk -- his 23rd at 6:25 -- and Yzerman scored at 8:08.
Holmqvist tied it 2-2 with 7:57 remaining in the opening period. But Mowers' goal with 6:32 left restored Detroit's lead.
