    The Detroit Red Wings are good enough to beat teams at home even if they don't get help from their opponents.

    St. Louis took two costly penalties, retaliating for hard hits, and the Red Wings took advantage.

    Pavel Datsyuk tied the game early in the second period on the power play, and Niklas Kronwall sealed the victory late in the third as Detroit beat the Blues 3-1 on Monday night for its 17th straight home win -- the NHL's longest single-season streak in 36 years.
