The Detroit Red Wings extended their winning streak to six games with a 5-3 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday night. Alex DeBrincat and Lucas Raymond led the offense for Detroit, each contributing a goal and an assist. Albert Johansson celebrated his first NHL goal, while Andrew Copp and Marco Kasper also found the back of the net. Cam Talbot made 23 saves for the Red Wings, while Patrick Kane’s three assists highlighted his influence during the game.
For the Blackhawks, Teuvo Teravainen scored twice in the third period, and Ryan Donato added a goal to the tally. Rookie Connor Bedard continued his impressive run with an assist in the first period, extending his points streak to nine games. Petr Mrazek, fresh off snapping a six-game personal losing streak with a standout performance against Colorado, made 12 saves but struggled to match Detroit’s offensive pressure in key moments.
Detroit’s dominance was evident in the second period when they outshot Chicago 18-2, though the score remained close until Andrew Copp’s third-period goal expanded their lead. Chicago rallied behind Teravainen’s two goals, but Marco Kasper sealed the game with an empty-netter. The Red Wings also showcased their potent power play, converting one of four opportunities and recording 11 power-play goals in their last seven games.
Looking ahead, the Blackhawks will host the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night, hoping to bounce back. Meanwhile, the Red Wings, buoyed by Kane’s remarkable contribution of four goals and seven assists during their winning streak, aim to continue their momentum as they host the Seattle Kraken on Sunday.
