NOTE: Chicago's Marian Hossa was booed each time he touched the puck in his second game at Joe Louis Arena since leaving Detroit to sign a 12-year, $62 million free agent contract with the Blackhawks. ... There were enough Blackhawks' fans at the game for the cheer to be audible after a Chicago goal. ... Two unusual combatants, Detroit's Eaves and Chicago's Kris Versteeg, fought with 42 seconds left in the first period and traded impressive punches. Eaves has 8 penalty minutes this season and Versteeg 20. ... Chicago D Brent Sopel left the ice bent over and holding his left wrist or hand after colliding with Abdelkader, Niemi and the goal post about seven minutes into the third period.
