The Detroit Red Wings lost their fourth straight game, falling 5-2 to the Winnipeg Jets on Wednesday night at Canada Life Centre.
This is the longest losing streak for the Michigan club since the start of the current season. The Wings have also lost seven of their last eight games.
In today's game, Gabe Vilardi scored a goal and two assists. The attacker acquired through the transaction with Pierre-Luc Dubois thus extended his streak of games with at least one point to four, collecting 10 points in this game.
Axel Jonsson-Fjallby, Neal Pionk, Nikolaj Ehlers and Mark Scheifele were the other scorers for the Manitoba team.
The Red Wings' answer came with the bats of forward Patrick Kane and defenseman Olli Maatta. It was the 35-year-old superstar's second goal and sixth point since joining the Detroit club earlier this month. He played his eighth game.
Kane and his gang will look to return to victory Friday night as part of a visit to the Philadelphia Flyers at Little Caesars Arena. The Jets host the Boston Bruins that same evening.
Solid agreement against the Kings
Joey Daccord posted a 43-save performance in the Kraken's 2-1 win over the Kings in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
The visitors' goalkeeper was sensational throughout the game, allowing Blake Lizotte just one goal.
Brandon Tanev and Jordan Eberle scored for the Kraken. This was Seattle's first win this season in which the team did not score four or more goals.
