Her opponent tipped her way to a guided tour and repeated the Red Wings in Detroit by going online.

The game on Thursday in the Little Caesars Arena was the first of two direct between the wings and the Columbus Blue Jackets, which in the Wildcard spots of the Eastern Conference get each other up to date. The wings looked flat for most of the night, and not even an exceptionally acrobatic performance by Cam Talbot was able to throw a 5-2 defeat.

Alex Debrincat scored in the first period, but the Blue Jackets scored four goals in the second period before a power game scored from the JT comperiker to score part of this dynamic.

The puck went back to Detroit's network with eight minutes in the third period, but the officials did not need a long check to determine that Sean Kuraly entered him, so no goal. But the wings were still around two down, and that led them to pull Talbot for an additional attacker with about three and a half minutes. Kirill Marchenko plunged in 56 seconds before entering the empty network of Detroit.

Intensive start

At the start there were several scrums when every team tried to determine the dominance. Talbot had to be particularly spicy when the blue jackets collapsed and were put down. Once, both valley bot and blue jackets striker James van Riemsdyk were on the back in color. One of the best parades of Talbot, under nine in the first period, came from Kent Johnson (Michigan) from the left of the wrinkle on an attempt by Kent Johnson (Michigan). The counterpart from Talbot, Daniil Tarasov, received help from a goal post that stopped Lucas Raymond's attempt during a power game in Detroit.

Eight in a row

Debrincat came into the night in seven games in a row with points (five goals, six templates). He did 27 seconds in the second period in a row. Debrincat fired a shot on the net, Tarasov turned, the puck bounced off a pad and slipped to the high slot, where Jt Compher got his stick on the puck and fired a pass to the left circle. From there, Debrincat scored his 27th goal of the season and scored a goal with a timer.

Blue jackets buzz and tip

The blue jackets continued to make noise around Talbot. They tied the game at 4:16 a.m. of the second period when van Riemsdyk Jake Christiansen's shot typed. The wings fell back in the second period at 9:43 a.m. when Mathieu Olivier's shot went from Kuraly – and continued to fell back at 12:08 p.m. when Johnson started his stick in Dante Fabbros shot and scored the blue jackets for two goals. Van Riemsdyk scored another goal at 3:01 pm and took a feed from Boone Jenner right in front of the goal.
