The game saw standout performances, including goaltender John Gibson, who made 26 critical saves to secure the win for Detroit.
Game Highlights
The first goal of the match came from Senators’ captain Brady Tkachuk during the opening period, giving Ottawa an early edge. However, the Red Wings leveled the score early in the second period when Lucas Raymond assisted Larkin, who executed a quick one-timer past Ottawa goalie Linus Ullmark, who tallied 18 saves throughout the game.
