Detroit Red Wings fall to Vancouver Canucks 5-4 in overtime
The Detroit Red Wings fell to the Vancouver Canucks 5-4 in overtime Sunday, with left wing Jake DeBrusk scoring a hat trick, including the game-winner in overtime.
DeBrusk scored two power-play goals in a 43-second span early in the second period and assisted on Erik Brannstrom's goal that tied the game with 3:20 left in regulation. Pius Suter also scored for Vancouver.
Lankinen is now 10-0-0 on the road this season, surpassing previous record-holders Glenn Hall (1965-66) and Cam Talbot (2023-24). Talbot, Detroit's starting goaltender on Sunday, played for Los Angeles last season.
Jonatan Berggren had a goal and an assist, while Alex DeBrincat, Michael Rasmussen and Vladimir Tarasenko also scored for the Red Wings.
Talbot left the game in the second period with a lower-body injury after making 12 saves. Ville Husso replaced him and made 15 saves, allowing three goals.
The Canucks are 4-1 on their current six-game road trip and 10-2 on the road this season.
Tarasenko, the biggest offensive addition the Red Wings made in free agency during the offseason, has scored in back-to-back games after a 16-game drought.
Penalties to Simon Edvinsson and Justin Holl late in the first period gave Vancouver a 5-on-3 advantage that carried over into the second period. DeBrusk took advantage of Detroit's penalty-kill unit, ranked last in the league, to scored on a tip-in and a rebound.
Suter, a fifth-year center who played two seasons with Detroit, has six goals in 11 career games against the Red Wings.
The Red Wings visit Boston on Tuesday.
