Red Wings-Canucks quick take: Wings lose Talbot, OT point to DeBrusk’s hat trick

The Detroit Red Wings attempted to cut into the Vancouver Canucks’ 9-and-2 road record, and stop goaltender Kevin Lankinen’s 9-and-0 road record, over the course of Sunday’s game between the two teams.

The 10-11-and-2 Red Wings were facing a 12-7-and-3 Canucks team for whom the good times kept rolling, and the Wings were still on their “back foot” after Friday’s 5-4 loss to New Jersey.

On Sunday afternoon, the Red Wings lost Cam Talbot, they gave up 2 power play goals against, they went 1-for-4 on their own power plays, and Detroit just seemed to be half-a-step slower than Vancouver as Ville Husso gave up 3 goals on 18 shots in relief and Jake DeBrusk scored a hat trick en route to a 5-4 OT win.

Detroit is still giving up too many power play goals, too many goals, period, and they went 2-1-and-1 on their 4-of-5-game home stand. At least they earned an OT point, but the team remains vexing and perplexing as it prepares to play 4 of the next 5 on the road, starting with Boston on Tuesday.

In the pregame warmups, the Canucks, well…One of their beat writers offered a little humor about the fact that a 12:30 PM EST start is a 9:30 AM start in Vancouver:

The Wings headed out for warmups at 12 PM…

And the Red Wings stuck with their usual lineup, save Erik Gustafsson going in and Albert Johansson sitting out this one…

The starters and scratches were as follows:

  1. You don’t have to do these running play by play blogs, George. They don’t even load on mobile because of the length, the embedding tweets keep moving the text and forcing the entire page to reload, so nobody can read them anyway.

    This game just encapsulated everything wrong with this team. Utterly frustrating. I did notice another mystifying Gustafsson pinch leading to a goal, so the defense-giving-an-easy-one-away streak is still alive.

    1. Honestly, Chet, something kind of broke in me in terms of writing recaps, and I needed someone to stop me. Thank you.
