"Howard is having a great year (and) both of those goals were simple plays and rebounds," said Kruger, who pounced on a loose puck during a goal-mouth scramble for the game-winner early in the third period. "That's what we have to do when we play a goalie like that. Even when we were down one goal we stuck with our plan and found a way to win."
Added Hayes: "No goalie is going to want to have any traffic in front of them, so when you get some big guys there you can create some havoc and get some chances."
With the help of a stingy defense that has been stellar since the Hawks snapped a nine-game skid last week, Crawford held the Wings to a Valterri Filppula power-play goal in the first period to earn his fourth win in a row.
