OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) β Erik Karlsson had a goal and an assist in the Ottawa Senators’ 3-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night.
Patrick Wiercioch’s first goal of the season was the game winner. He moved in from the point and beat goalie Jimmy Howard with a wrist shot with less than six minutes to play.
Niklas Kronwall hit a post with a drive that could have tied the game just seconds later, but as the Red Wings pressed to get even, Clarke MacArthur scored into an empty net at 19:02 to give the Senators (6-3-2) the win.
Henrik Zetterberg scored the lone goal for the Red Wings (6-3-3), putting a backhander past Craig Anderson at 3:34 of the third to make it 1-1.
Both teams had 32 shots.
