(Ottawa) The Detroit Red Wings’ power play scored three times on Saturday in a 5-2 win over the Ottawa Senators at the Canadian Tire Centre.
Shayne Gostisbehere, in first, David Perron, in second, and Dylan Larkin, in third, hit the target with an extra player for the visitors, who took advantage of five sequences on the power play.
Larkin added two assists to finish the game with three points.
The Red Wings have totaled nine goals in 18 advantage opportunities since the start of the campaign. After losing their very first match, they have won their last four. This is also a first victory for the Michigan club in Ottawa since February 2, 2019.
The Red Wings can thank the Senators for their indiscipline since the team from the Canadian capital largely dominated the first two periods. She had a 28-11 advantage in shots on goal before entering the final third.
Ville Husso had his best game of the campaign from a statistical point of view, blocking 36 of the 38 pucks directed his way. Jake Sanderson and Ridly Greig were the only players to deceive his vigilance.
At the other end of the ice, Joonas Korpisalo gave up five times on 23 shots. Joe Veleno thwarted him twice on a numerical tie.
The Senators suffered a second defeat in five outings, but a first in front of their fans. They will return to action on Tuesday when they host the Buffalo Sabres. The Red Wings will host a visit from the Calgary Flames on Sunday.
