Todd Bertuzzi scored twice, Jimmy Howard made 28 saves and the Detroit Red Wings rallied to beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 2-1 on Saturday night.

Detroit, coming off consecutive shutout losses to Chicago, ended a three-game losing streak. Antoine Vermette scored for Columbus and Mathieu Garon stopped 25 shots. The Blue Jackets have lost nine straight.

Bertuzzi made it 2-1 2:44 into the third period when he put in the carom of Brian Rafalski's shot off the end boards into the empty side of the net. It was Bertuzzi's 12th goal and gave Detroit the lead for the first time in 201 minutes, 4 seconds.

Bertuzzi tied it at 1 with a power-play goal at 6:38 of the second period, ending the Red Wings' 167:38 scoreless streak. Bertuzzi also scored the previous goal Dec. 19.

Bertuzzi took Pavel Datsyuk's pass, cut in off the left wing, made a move on Garon, and put a backhander into the empty net as he cut across the slot.

The Red Wings had come close to ending the drought about 2 minutes into the second period when Brad Stuart's wrist shot from the point deflected off the stick of Columbus' R.J. Umberger and hit both goal posts.

Darren Helm kept the game tied with about 3 minutes left in the middle period. He dove to swat Umberger's bouncing shot from the slot off the goal line and out of the crease using first his stick and then his glove.

Vermette opened the scoring with 7:50 left in the second period when he capitalized on Detroit defenseman Derek Meech's turnover. Meech's pass out of the right corner was intercepted by Jakub Voracek in the right circle. Howard stopped Voracek's shot, but Vermette put in the rebound for his 11th goal.
