All of a sudden the Detroit Red Wings can’t win a game.

The most dominating team in the NHL this season lost its sixth straight game Sunday and looked anemic while doing it. Detroit faield to generate quality scoring chances as Marty Turco stood on his head for the underdog Dallas Stars.

Turco made 28 saves for his 32nd career shutout and his second this season as the Stars won 1-0 at home. Dallas paid +110 on the puckline (meaning a winning hockey bet of $100 would net $110).

In a battle of the top two teams in the Western Conference, Dallas showed that it’s the most feared team on ice at the moment. Niklas Hagman scored 3:13 into the third period and the Stars’ defense shut down the potent Red Wings the rest of the way. The victory was the ninth in 10 games for Dallas.

Turco made a few big stops in the final minute, but most of Detroit’s chances were from the perimeter. Red Wings goalie Jimmy Howard, a third-stringer, looked solid in stopping 30 shots.
