Detroit Red Wings soar past Winnipeg Jets 4-2 for 4th straight win
Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond each scored power-play goals to help lead the Detroit Red Wings to a 4-2 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday night that extended their winning streak to a season-high four games.
Larkin added an empty-net goal and Alex DeBrincat also scored for Detroit. Raymond and Patrick Kane contributed a pair of assists and Moritz Seider had three assists.
Alex Lyon made 21 saves for the Red Wings.
Josh Morrissey and Nikolaj Ehlers scored for the Jets.
Connor Hellebuyck stopped 25 of the 28 shots he faced and was held at 299 career wins for the second game in a row.
Morrissey took a puck to the mouth area in the first period, but returned after getting repairs and seemed to spark his teammates.
The Jets outshot the Red Wings 11-3 in the second period.
Winnipeg had a tough time getting going, partly because it only won 41.3% of the faceoffs. The team also had six giveaways.
Lyon kept Detroit in the game with some big saves, particularly in the second period. Morrissey did score, but the puck changed direction off a Red Wings' stick.
A Winnipeg turnover in its own zone led to DeBrincat's goal at 7:14 of the third period and a 3-1 Detroit lead.
Detroit scored two power-play goals for the second game in a row.
The Red Wings host the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday.
