Mule gets 5, as the Wings win 7-5

Johan "The Mule" Franzen was the man of the hour, as the Red Wings returned from the All-Star break by defeating the Ottawa Senators in Ottawa, 7-5. Franzen's 5 was the first time a Red Wing turned the trick on the road, and he was the first Wing to do it since Sergei Fedorov on Boxing Day, 1996.

After the Sens to an early 2-0 lead, Franzen got his first two at 6:52, and 7:40 of the first, to tie the score. He got the hat trick at :30 of the third, and added his fourth at 7:10 of the third, and closed out the scoring
with an empty net goal with about :30 left.
