The Detroit Red Wings are fighting for a 5-3 victory over the New Jersey Devils

Patrick Kane scored a power play goal with 3:32 left and the Detroit Red Wings extended their winning streak to three games, defeating the New Jersey Devils 5-3 on Thursday night.

Christian Fischer and Alex DeBrincat scored 26 seconds apart for Detroit toward the end of the first period. Dylan Larkin also scored a power-play goal and Michael Rasmussen added an empty-net goal, while Cam Talbot made 40 saves.

Nico Hischier scored two power play goals for the Devils, who have lost three straight. Jacob Markstrom stopped 15 shots.

Devils forward Erik Haula scored in his 700th game. He is the 22nd Finnish player to reach this milestone.

Devils: They came into the game ranked 10th in power play (25%) and improved on that number by converting three of five chances. They have scored nine power play goals in their last six games.

Red Wings: They put a lot of pressure on their goaltenders, shooting out of bounds in five of their first seven games. They were outscored 112-55 during the three-game winning streak.

In a turbulent third period with four tackles and three ejection penalties, a cross-checking penalty ultimately led to the opening goal. Dawson Mercer committed the infraction against Olli Maatta and Kane scored 22 seconds later.

DeBrincat's goal was his third of the season and first since opening night, when he scored twice against Pittsburgh. DeBrincat scored 27 goals last season after Detroit acquired him from Ottawa.

The Devils host the New York Islanders on Friday. The Red Wings visit Buffalo on Saturday.
