It was Patrick Kane who breathed life into his team when he converted on Detroit's sixth power play of the game, early in the third period, but video review prompted officials to rule Michael Amadio scored at 8:44. Lucas Raymond took advantage of being alone in front of Ottawa's net and again trimmed the score to two goals with 8:10 to play.

In their first game back at Little Caesars Arena Thursday after being on the road for four straight, the Wings pushed back in the third period against the Ottawa Senators, turning a three-goal gap into one.
