Franzen's OT goal sinks Wild

Johan Franzen scored a power-play goal with 48.5 seconds left in overtime, rallying the Detroit Red Wings to a 3-2 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Saturday night.

Ian White and Jiri Hudler also scored for Detroit, which trailed 2-0 in the second period.

After a scramble in front of the Wild net, Holmstrom backhanded a pass a couple of feet, and Franzen, fought off a check and poked it in. The play was upheld by video review. It was Detroit's first power-play goal in 19 chances this season.

Detroit is off to its first 4-0 start since 1997-98, a season that ended with the Red Wings hoisting the Stanley Cup. The Red Wings won a team-best six in a row to begin the 1972-73 season.

Greg Zanon and Cal Clutterbuck scored for Minnesota, which was outshot 41-14.
