Fischer went five-hole on his lone tally in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Sabres.
Fischer tied the game at 5:35 in the second period as he slid to the ice but still beat Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen for a highlight-reel goal at the doorstep. This was just the third goal and 15th point of the season for Fischer, but it had huge implications for a Red Wings team that snapped a seven-game losing streak to help keep its playoff hopes alive. As of Saturday, the Original Six club has a 28.2 percent chance of securing a playoff berth.
