Kane has 3 points, Red Wings recover in OT to cool off Ducks

DETROIT -- Patrick Kane scored his second goal of the game with one minute remaining in overtime, and the Detroit Red Wings recovered for a 5-4 win against the Anaheim Ducks at Little Caesars Arena on Sunday.

Kane, who also had an assist, broke free and beat Lukas Dostal for the winning goal after Robby Fabbri and Jackson LaCombe were both unable to convert from the edge of the crease for the Ducks on the other end.

“Obviously, you see a lot in overtime where if there is a chance and they don’t score, it is usually coming back the other way,” Kane said. “(Moritz Seider) and Marco (Kasper) did a great job of getting the puck to me.”

Said Anaheim coach Greg Cronin: “We had an open net and couldn’t put it in. Robby tipped a shot just wide and Jackson played a great game, but if he had waited a second, he could have gone to his backhand and pushed it in.”

The Red Wings led 4-2 in the final three minutes, but the Ducks scored two goals with Dostal pulled for the extra skater to tie it. Olen Zellweger cut it to 4-3 at 17:44 with a slap shot from the point before Cutter Gauthier tied it 4-4 at 19:07 with his second goal of the game.

“We stuck to our game for the full 60 minutes, and we needed all 60,” Fabbri said. “It’s tough to come up just a little short.”

Kasper had a goal and an assist, and Lucas Raymond had two assists for Detroit (29-22-6), which had lost two in a row following a seven-game winning streak. Alex Lyon made 24 saves.

The Red Wings were coming off a 4-3 overtime loss to the Minnesota Wild on Saturday, when they also blew a two-goal lead late in the third period.

“We’re happy with the win, but we got into a situation like last night where we had to play a lot of 6-on-5,” Detroit coach Todd McLellan said. “We obviously need to be better in that situation.”

Ryan Strome also scored for the Ducks (25-24-7), who had won four in a row and seven of their past eight, including a 3-2 overtime victory at the Boston Bruins on Saturday. Dostal made 31 saves.

“This was a different brand of hockey than last night in Boston,” Cronin said. “Detroit’s got a lot of speed, a lot of talent and a lot of skill. Any time you give up three power-play goals and get a point, it’s a good point.”

The Red Wings scored three goals in the first 5:06, the fastest they had scored three times from the start of a game since they took a 3-0 lead against the New Jersey Devils in the opening 2:14 of an 8-5 win on Feb. 9, 1993.

Kasper gave Detroit a 1-0 lead at 3:11. Raymond forced a turnover in Anaheim's end, and his pass deflected in off Kasper’s skate.

The Ducks were called for two tripping penalties at 4:21, and Detroit needed just 45 seconds to take a 3-0 lead. Alex DeBrincat knocked in Dylan Larkin’s rebound at 4:29 during the 5-on-3 advantage, and Kane beat Dostal with a wrist shot through traffic at 5:06 on the ensuing 5-on-4.

Strome scored on a rebound to make it 3-1 at 8:24.

Michael Rasmussen pushed it to 4-1 at 2:14 of the second period with Detroit’s third power-play goal of the game. Dostal stopped Erik Gustafsson’s shot through traffic, but Rasmussen deflected in a rebound from J.T. Compher.

Gauthier cut it to 4-2 at 7:04 with his first goal of the game when LaCombe’s shot deflected off his arm and past Lyon.

Rasmussen left the game late in the second period after a hit from Trevor Zegras and did not return.

“When a player gets a hit to the head and doesn’t return, it is never a good sign,” McLellan said. “He’s still getting checked, but he’s in good spirits. We’ll see how he is tomorrow.”

NOTES: The loss ended Dostal’s winning streak at an NHL career-high five games. … Kane has 21 points (nine goals, 12 assists) in his past 17 games, including seven multipoint games.
