Red Wings end losing streak with 4-2 win over Canadiens

Dylan Larkin celebrated his 700th NHL game with a power-play goal and an assist, helping the Detroit Red Wings end a three-game losing streak by defeating the Montreal Canadiens 4-2. This victory was also marked by goals from Andrew Copp, Alex DeBrincat, and Jonatan Berggren, with Cam Talbot making 27 saves. The Red Wings dominated the first period, outshooting the Canadiens 17-4 and establishing a strong lead. Despite Kirby Dach and Kaiden Guhle scoring for Montreal, Detroit's potent power-play unit, now ranked third in the league under new head coach Todd McLellan, proved decisive. Meanwhile, former Red Wings player Jake Walman continues to excel with the San Jose Sharks, highlighting the depth of talent the Red Wings have developed. Looking forward, Detroit will host Tampa Bay, aiming to build on their recent success under McLellan's leadership.
