Nate Danielson scored his first NHL goal and had an assist, Emmitt Finnie scored a power-play goal (with Danielson assisting) and Axel Sandin-Pellikka had an assist Tuesday as the Wings defeated Seattle, 4-2, and moved into sole possession of first place of the Atlantic Division at, essentially, the quarter-pole of the NHL season.
