Nate Danielson notched his first goal and first assist in the NHL, as the Red Wings dumped the Kraken 4-2 last night. Lucas Raymond, Emmitt Finnie and Dylan Larkin also found the net, and Cam Talbot stopped 20 shots.

The Wings welcome the Islanders tomorrow. Because of NFL football, coverage will begin at 6:45 on KBear 102.3.

NBA

The Pistons grabbed their 11th straight win, with a 120-112 triumph over the Hawks last night. Cade Cunningham returned, and led Detroit with 25 points and 10 assists. Jalen Duren added 24 points.

The Pistons will visit the Bucks on Saturday.

The Bucks entertain the 76ers tomorrow.

Milwaukee will probably be without Giannis Antetokounmpo for the next couple of weeks, while he recovers from a groin strain suffered in Monday’s loss to the Cavaliers.

MLB

Gleyber Torres will be back at second base for the Tigers next season. Torres accepted Detroit’s $22 million qualifying offer.

Brandon Woodruff will be back with the Brewers next season, after all. Woodruff had opted out of the final year of his contract, but also accepted Milwaukee’s qualifying offer of more than $20 million.

Both were restricted free agents. If they had decided to sign elsewhere, their teams would have received compensatory draft picks. Both will become unrestricted free agents next fall.
