Chicago - What a road trip this was for the Red Wings.

A season-long six-game journey, going from Columbus, to Seattle, to three stops in western Canada, and winding up Saturday in Chicago.

And it was successful. The Wings ended the trip Saturday with a convincing 4-0 victory over the Blackhawks, finishing the trip 4-1-1 and earning nine of 12 points.

The Wings (18-12-3, 39 points) moved into a first-place tie with Tampa in the Atlantic Division.

It was a pair of former Chicago Blackhawks who triggered the Wings victory.

Alex DeBrincat scored his 17th goal just 55 seconds into the game, with linemates Andrew Copp and Patrick Kane assisting, then it was DeBrincat who fed Kane on a two-on-one rush at 4 minutes, 35 seconds, giving the Wings a 2-0 lead that proved to be insurmountable.
