"Goals keep coming for the Red Wings — from their defensemen.
After Niklas Kronwall's power-play goal during Monday's 3-1 victory over the Blues, the Wings defensemen have 33 goals — Kronwall has 11, followed by Nicklas Lidstrom with 10, Ian White with six, Brad Stuart four and Jakub Kindl and Jonathan Ericsson one each.
The franchise record is 59 (Reed Larson was tops with 27) during the 1980-81 season.
"We like to get offense from everyone," Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said. "We think our back end has that skill set.""
