The third four-point game of Arvidsson's career gave Detroit a
5-1-1 record over its last seven games. Lucas Raymond added a
power-play goal and Alex DeBrincat had two assists. John Gibson
made 18 saves, including one on Frank Nazar’s second-period
penalty shot.
Connor Bedard scored for the Blackhawks, who are 0-5 on the road
this season. Spencer Knight stopped 25 shots.
The Red Wings suspended Larkin without pay prior to the game.
Larkin, who requested a trade during the offseason, through his
agent said would no longer play for the organization. Larkin has
two goals and six assists in 10 games this season, including the
tying goal during a shootout victory at Edmonton on Monday.
Bedard scored at 5:59 of the first period, backhanding a rebound
of Wyatt Kaiser's shot. After the Red Wings wasted three power
plays, they scored at even strength to tie it. Arvidsson
deflected William Wallinder's shot from the point past Knight at
7:31 of the second period.
Nazar was awarded the penalty shot at 11:18 of the period after
Andreas Englund hooked him. Gibson made a pad save to keep the
score at 1-all.
With Patrick Kane in the penalty box for high sticking, Raymond
scored from the right circle at 1:09 of the third.
Arvidsson tipped in the rebound of DeBrincat shot's with 4:34
left and added an empty-netter for the hat trick.
