Jonathan Bernier made 42 saves as the league-worst Detroit Red Wings downed the Montreal Canadiens 2-1 Saturday night.

Tyler Bertuzzi and Mike Green scored for the Red Wings (9-22-3), who have won two games in a row since dropping 12 straight. Green also added an assist.

Tomas Tatar scored in the game’s final minute for the Canadiens (15-12-6), who saw their three-game win streak come to an end. Carey Price made 18 saves in defeat.

Montreal outshot Detroit 43-20.

The Red Wings snapped a 12-game winless streak (0-10-2) by beating the Winnipeg Jets 5-2 on Thursday.

Jeff Blashill’s men still came into Bell Centre with the league’s worst record and worst offence, but they only needed two goals to defeat the Canadiens.
