Dylan Larkin’s overtime goal lifts Red Wings past Canadiens
DETROIT – Dylan Larkin scored twice from sharp angles on Saturday, and his second goal enabled the Detroit Red Wings to finally solve the Montreal Canadiens. Larkin’s goal at 1:41 of overtime gave the Red Wings a 3-2 victory over the Canadiens at Little Caesars Arena. The Red Wings scored on their first two shots on Sam Montembeault 45 seconds apart early in the second period to take a 2-1 lead. Red Wings center Mitchell Stephens suffered a lower-body injury when he crashed into the boards behind the Montreal net in the second period. The Red Wings begin a four-game trip Monday at Columbus.

The Detroit Red Wings were missing their two most dangerous offensive threats Tuesday, and the rest of the team could not compensate. Jake Allen made 22 saves as the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Red Wings 3-0, their second victory in 10 days over Detroit at the Bell Centre. The Red Wings (4-4-2) have dropped back-to-back games and are 0-3 this season without Tyler Bertuzzi, who can’t travel to Canada because of his refusal to be vaccinated for COVID-19. Montreal got all the offense it needed less than 10 minutes into the game, facilitated by mistakes from the Red Wings. The Red Wings pulled Alex Nedeljkovic (38 saves) for the extra skater with less than four minutes remaining.
