Jiri Hudler scored twice and added an assist, as the Detroit Red Wings tallied five consecutive goals en route to a 6-4 win over the Blackhawks in the 2009 Winter Classic at Chicago's Wrigley Field. The clubs put on an offensive show unlike the 2008 version, in which the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Sabres in a shootout, 2-1, at a snowy Ralph Wilson Stadium in Buffalo. Brian Rafalski had a goal and two assists, while Marian Hossa and Henrik Zetterberg each had three helpers for Detroit, which swept the home-and-home between the clubs. The Red Wings notched a 4-0 victory over the Blackhawks on Tuesday. Detroit netminder Ty Conklin made 33 saves to pick up the win for the second year in a row in the Winter Classic, having guided Pittsburgh over the Sabres in Buffalo on the first day of 2008. He has now played all three outdoor games the NHL has staged, as he was with the Oilers when they played Montreal in Edmonton in the 2003 Heritage Classic. Martin Havlat had a goal and two assists, and Kris Versteeg ended with a goal and one assist for Chicago, which has dropped two in a row since reeling off a franchise-best nine consecutive wins. Cristobal Huet started in net for the Blackhawks, but was pulled in the third period after allowing six goals on 30 shots. Nikolai Khabibulin came in and stopped all 13 shots he faced. Whereas Ralph Wilson Stadium, home of the NFL's Buffalo Bills, had a capacity of nearly 74,000 for the 2008 version, Wrigley Field offered a more intimate venue for this year's Winter Classic. The Friendly Confines hold a little more than 41,000 fans, normally rooting for the Chicago Cubs. But on Thursday, hockey fans packed the seats to see the rink, which stretched across the infield, between first and third base, with the players walking down the covered basepaths to their benches. The clubs donned throwback sweaters, with Detroit wearing those from the franchise's first season in 1926-27, when they were known as the Cougars. Chicago had sweaters from the 1936-37 campaign.
