Patrick Kane’s clutch power-play goal lifts Red Wings to third win in row

DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings overcame a poor performance on the penalty kill Thursday and another game with a lopsided shots disadvantage to win their third in a row.

Patrick Kane scored a power-play goal with 3:32 remaining in the third period and Cam Talbot made 40 saves for the 5-3 victory over the New Jersey Devils at Little Caesars Arena.

After allowing three power-play goals, the Red Wings killed a cross-checking penalty against Jeff Petry with 2:37 to play. Michael Rasmussen sealed the outcome with an empty-net goal with 12 seconds to play.

Christian Fischer, Alex DeBrincat and Dylan Larkin also scored for Detroit (4-3-0). The Devils dropped to 5-4-1.

Larkin put the Red Wings ahead 3-2 on the power play at 9:46 of the third when he one-timed a nice pass from Kane past Jacob Markstrom from the net front. It was his fourth goal.

Nico Hischier tied it at 11:41 with his second goal of the game, his team’s third on the power play.

Fischer and DeBrincat scored 25 seconds apart in the final two minutes of the first period to put the Red Wings ahead 2-1.

Fischer corralled the rebound of Andrew Copp’s shot at the net front and flipped the puck over a sprawled Markstrom at 18:09 for his first goal of the season.

DeBrincat pounced on a turnover at the Devils blue line, skated into the slot area and whipped in a shot at 18:34, his third of the season.

Eric Haula tied it on the power play at 4:59 of the second with a net-front tip-in of Timo Meier’s shot.

The Devils opened the scoring on Hischier’s goal 16 seconds into a power play at 12:11 of the first. Talbot got a piece of his shot from the slot but it wasn’t enough.

The Red Wings visit the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday (1 p.m., FanDuel Sports Network).
