And it gave him some reporters to talk to after the game, when he said that the Wings need to keep recording wins despite clinching a 21st consecutive playoff berth Monday night. "We have big games coming up, and we need points because we want to start at home in the playoffs," said Tomas Holmstrom, who scored two power-play goals. "We want to get back on track, for sure.

Thomas Holmstrom has been named the Detroit Red Wings nominee for the Bill Masterton trophy. The Masterton is given annually to recognize a player's perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication. "His perseverance is second to none," Nicklas Lidstrom said. "We know what he's been going through with his bad knees, and his knees weren't the best when he got here 15 years ago. So just the way he's battled through injuries and being able to come back and play, we know the beating he's been taking in front of the net in the offensive zone. He's got such much determination and the will to get back in there again. He's not giving up at all."
