DETROIT — The Detroit Red Wings are losing track of how many games in a row they have won at home.

Detroit won its 23rd straight at Joe Louis Arena, setting an NHL multiple-season mark for home dominance by holding on to beat the San Jose Sharks 3-2 Sunday.

“Where are we at with the streak?” asked Drew Miller, who scored for the Red Wings. “The streak is cool, but we’re more concerned with how we’re playing and to keep our spot in the race.”

The Red Wings won their sixth straight game, all in a homestand, and have an NHL-high 84 points.

Detroit, which broke the league’s single-season record of 20 on Tuesday, surpassed the 22 wins in a row the Boston Bruins had over two seasons more than eight decades ago.

“We’ve got a good thing going, but we need to take it on the road,” Miller said. Despite their success at home, the Red Wings are .500 away from Joe Louis Arena.

Joey MacDonald, the team’s third-string goaltender when usual starter Jimmy Howard was hurt, made 31 saves for his sixth straight win.

Henrik Zetterberg and Miller gave Detroit a two-goal lead midway through the second period and Darren Helm restored the two-goal edge 7:01 into the third.

Logan Couture scored late in the second period for the Sharks and Patrick Marleau pulled them within a goal with 4:44 left.

The Pacific Division-leading Sharks have lost six of eight.
