Ducks wrap up road trip with overtime loss to Red Wings
DETROIT — Jordan Oesterle scored 2:11 into overtime as the Detroit Red Wings beat the Ducks 2-1 on Monday night.
Dylan Larkin had a goal and an assist to help Detroit win for the second time in six games. Alex Nedeljkovic, starting for the 10th time in 11 games, had 14 saves.
Rickard Rakell scored for Anaheim, and John Gibson finished with 26 saves. The loss snapped the Ducks’ two-game win streak.
In the extra period, Oesterle one-timed a feed off a faceoff from Larkin for his first goal with the Red Wings.
Troy Terry and Rickard Rakell each score and goaltender John Gibson makes a season-high 44 saves in the Ducks’ 2-1 victory over the Ottawa Senators.
The Red Wings appeared to have broken a 1-1 tie late in the third period, but Filip Hronek was denied a goal when the referees determined he had kicked the puck into the goal past Gibson.
Larkin scored his team-leading 23rd goal of the season late in the first period, and Rakell tied it with his 10th of the season early in the second.
Detroit defenseman Nick Leddy suffered an upper-body injury and did not return for the third period.
Notes: The game ended a five-game road trip for the Ducks, tied for their longest of the season. Detroit goalie Thomas Griess was in uniform for the first time since Jan. 9. He had been out because of COVID-19 protocols. He backed up starter Nedeljkovic. ... Rakell’s goal, the 148th of his career, lifted him into sixth place on Anaheim’s all-time goal-scoring list, breaking a tie with Bobby Ryan.
