Andreas Athanasiou scored on a penalty shot, while Philipp
Kurashev and Connor Murphy had the other goals for Chicago. Sam
Lafferty contributed two assists.
Blackhawks starting goaltender Petr Mrazek stopped 15 of 18
shots and was taken out after two periods. Alex Stalock saved
all 10 shots he faced in relief.
Dominik Kubalik notched a goal and an assist and Pius Suter and
Dylan Larkin also scored for the Red Wings. Alex Nedeljkovic
made 25 saves.
Both teams came into the game fresh, as Detroit hadn't played
since Monday and Chicago had been idle since Saturday.
There were only nine shots on goal in the first period, but the
Red Wings made theirs count as they grabbed a 2-0 lead.
Suter scored his first goal at 9:26 of the period without the
puck touching his stick. After Detroit won a faceoff in
Chicago's zone, Robert Hagg took a shot from the point that
bounced off Mrazek's skate, then deflected off Suter's skate and
into the net.
Larkin scored just over a minute later with the Blackhawks'
Jarred Tinordi in the penalty box for interference. Larkin
ripped a shot from the slot that zipped past a screened Mrazek.
Kubalik and Filip Hronek had the assists.
The Blackhawks were awarded a penalty shot at 5:41 of the second
period when Hronek was called for hooking against Athanasiou.
The former Red Wing cashed in on the opportunity, beating
Nedeljkovic through the five hole.
Detroit extended its lead to 3-1 at 11:18 of the middle period.
Kubalik redirected an Olli Maatta shot from the point for his
second goal this season.
The Blackhawks erased their deficit in the first 10-plus minutes
of the third period. Kurashev scored his first goal of the
season at 3:46 off a rebound of a Lafferty shot. Jack Johnson
had the second assist.
Murphy's short-handed goal, off another assist by Lafferty, tied
it up. Lafferty won a faceoff in Detroit's zone and Murphy
flicked a wrister that fluttered over Nedeljkovic's right
shoulder.
