Red Wings' Pavel Datsyuk: Records first goal of season Saturday

Datsyuk's goal Saturday night was his first of the season and 26th in his career against the Blues.

Since making his season debut Nov. 13, The Magic Man has produced two points in six contests. A little rust was to be expected for Datsyuk given that he required offseason surgery to repair ruptured tendons in his right ankle, and what's most important is that he is playing regularly, averaging 19:11 TOI/G. With Datsyuk, you know the points will come in bunches once he fully gets his timing back.
