Once the Blackhawks killed a penalty, they tied the game at 10:56 of the first period. Bedar set up Donato, who took a shot from the right circle and beat Talbot to the short side. Ilya Mikheyev had the second assist.
Bedard took a dropped penalty at the end of the first period that carried over into the second. The Red Wings capitalized when Raymond converted from the left side off a DeBrincat feed. Kane had the secondary assist.
Dylan Larkin nearly gave the Red Wings a two-goal advantage with eight minutes left in the middle period with a shot that hit the crossbar. Chicago was fortunate to only give up one goal as Detroit held an 18-2 advantage in shots at the end of the period.
