NHL ROUNDUP | Wednesday's games

Red Wings 5, Blue Jackets 0
DETROIT -- Dominik Hasek made 27 saves for his 73rd NHL shutout and Dan Cleary scored twice to lift Detroit over Columbus. Nicklas Lidstrom added a goal and an assist for Detroit, and Kirk Maltby and Jason Williams also scored. Hasek's league-leading fifth shutout of the season moved into 10th place on the career list, one spot ahead of Lorne Chabot. Cleary has six goals and seven assists in his last 10 games. He passed Henrik Zetterberg for the team lead with 13 goals and all but one of his 24 points have come in a 20-game span. Detroit led 2-0 after the first period on Cleary's two goals. Columbus had an apparent goal waved off 8:52 into the second period because Alexander Svitov kicked the puck into the net. Williams added a goal at 4:38 of the third period, sending starting goalie Fredrik Norrena to the bench in favor of Ty Conklin.
Predators 2, Blackhawks 1
CHICAGO -- Paul Kariya scored twice in the third period, and Nashville beat Chicago for its fifth straight win. Kariya's power-play goal with 7:02 left snapped a 1-1 tie. Chris Mason made 28 saves while making his 13th straight start for Nashville. He is 9-3-1 since top goalie Tomas Vokoun underwent hand surgery on Nov. 27. Martin Havlat scored for the Blackhawks, 7-2-3 since Denis Savard replaced fired coach Trent Yawney on Nov. 27. Havlat has five goals and five assists in seven games since returning from a sprained right ankle. Chicago's Nikolai Khabibulin, who stopped 17 shots, lost his bid for his first shutout in the regular season since March 1, 2004, when Kariya scored at 6:41 of the third. The victory was gone moments later.
