DETROIT - This is what happens when Valtteri Filppula shoots the puck.
Filppula had two goals and an assist, surpassing 20 goals for the first time in his career, Jimmy Howard made 19 saves for his 11th career shutout, and Henrik Zetterberg had a goal and two assists in the Detroit Red Wings' 6-0 win over the Minnesota Wild on Friday.
