DeBrincat scored a power-play goal on four shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Kings. DeBrincat's second-period tally leveled the score at 2-2 in the second period, and the Red Wings continued their surge over the rest of the game.

The Red Wings showed they're learning how to win after falling behind against a great defensive team like the Kings and scoring five straight goals.

If you look at the Detroit Red Wings’ lineup from Thursday night’s game against the Montreal Canadiens, there are a couple of noteworthy takeaways when considering how the team was constructed.

The Detroit Red Wings begin a four-game Western swing when they face the host Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night. The Red Wings and the Oilers, playing the penultimate game of a six-game homestand, have each won three consecutive games.

Elmer Soderblom snapped a tie in the second period and Marco Kasper provided a pair of insurance tallies in the third as the Red Wings defeated the Los Angeles Kings 5-2 at Little Caesars Arena to sweep a three-game homestand. The Red Wings (24-21-5, 53 points) showed their resiliency by battling back from two-goal deficit in the first period.

In 16 games since McLellan took over, the Red Wings are 11-4-1, riding a three-game win streak as they prepare to head to western Canada on Wednesday. It’s not unusual to see a midseason coaching change bring better results in the NHL, but now more than 30 days in, the Red Wings’ surge has lasted longer than a simple adrenaline rush.

Dylan Larkin had a goal and an assist in his 700th career game to lead the Detroit Red Wings past the Montreal Canadiens, 4-2, ending a losing streak.

DETROIT — Marco Kasper scored twice, Lucas Raymond had a goal and three assists, and the Detroit Red Wings rallied to beat the Los Angeles Kings 5-2 on Monday night.
