Box Score

Detroit jumped out to a 2-0 lead midway through the first period thanks to goals by Tyutyayev and Pearson just 2:18 apart. Tyutyayev beat Stars goalie Adam Scheel, and Pearson hit the open net off a sweet feed from defenseman Adam Brubacher.
Early in the second period, Raymond made his presence felt as he rifled a shot short side off a pass from Berggren to help the Red Wings push the lead to 3-0.

Dallas cut into the lead on a goal from Wyatt Johnston to make it 3-1 with 12:20 left in the second, but the Red Wings again scored two goals in lightning-quick fashion late in the period.
Tyutyayev drove to the net and earned his second goal of the game to extend the lead to 4-1 with just under three minutes left, followed 49 seconds later by Veleno scoring from a bad angle to make it 5-1.

The Stars prospects would not go quietly, though, as they scored three goals in the third period to mount the comeback. Jacob Peterson tallied the first goal of the comeback attempt at the 4:20 mark of the period, followed by two goals in a 61-second span from Tufte with 6:51 and 5:50 remaining in the game.
