Patrick Kane’s OT goal lifts Red Wings over Blue Jackets

Patrick Kane scored the winning goal with 4:12 remaining in overtime to lead the Detroit Red Wings to a 4-3 home win over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday.

Lucas Raymond scored two goals and Moritz Seider added another for Detroit.

Zach Werenski had a goal for Columbus and assisted on the other two.

Trailing 3-2 late in regulation, Detroit pulled goalie James Reimer and tied the game with 12.6 seconds left when Raymond pounced on a rebound and banked the puck off of Columbus defenseman Damon Severson and into the goal to make it 3-3.

With the game tied 2-2 in the third period, Columbus took the lead with 15:34 remaining on a power-play goal by Kirill Marchenko, who beat Reimer on the glove side.

Down 2-0 after the first period, Detroit quickly tied the game at 2-2 on goals 1:26 apart early in the second.

Detroit cut its deficit to 2-1 with 17:03 left in the second on a power play when Raymond took a pass from Robby Fabbri right in front of the Columbus goal and buried the chance into a half-open net.

With 15:37 left in the second, Seider fired a point shot that went off of the skate of Columbus defenseman Erik Gudbranson and into the goal to tie the game.

Columbus jumped out to a 2-0 lead after a dominant first period. The Blue Jackets outshot Detroit 20-6 despite the Red Wings having the only two power plays of the period.

The Blue Jackets took a 1-0 lead with 14:04 remaining in the first when Werenski stole the puck from Detroit’s Christian Fischer at the Columbus blue line, skated in all alone and fired a shot past Reimer on the glove side.

Immediately after killing off a Detroit power play, Columbus took a 2-0 lead with 6:17 remaining when Alexandre Texier came out of the penalty box, took a pass from Werenski and fired a shot underneath the crossbar for another breakaway goal.

Reimer finished with 32 saves, while Columbus’ Daniil Tarasov had 23.
