However, the Red Wings were able to hold on to their lead, thanks to some outstanding goaltending from Talbot. The Wild had several scoring chances, but Talbot was able to make the necessary saves to secure the win. The Red Wings' victory was a result of their ability to adapt to the Wild's offense and make the necessary adjustments to come out on top.

Here are the match scores:

• Red Wings: 3
• Wild: 2

The Red Wings' win is a significant one, as it gives them a two-point lead over Columbus in the wild-card standings. The two teams will face each other on Thursday and Saturday in crucial games for playoff positioning. The Red Wings will look to continue their winning streak and solidify their position in the standings.

The Red Wings' players and coaches were thrilled with the win, and they know that this is a crucial part of the season. "This is the hardest part of the season," Edvinsson said. "Everyone wants to get into the playoffs, and it's not an easy game. We need all the points we can get." Coach Todd McLellan added, "We didn't play real poor in the first period. We found a way to scrap ourselves back into the game. It wasn't a pretty night for either team, not a lot of shots, not a lot of scoring chances. It almost felt like a playoff game, tight checking and muck and grind. But it was good for us to experience it and good for us to find a way to win."
