Red Wings soar past Jets 4-2 for fourth straight win

WINNIPEG, Manitoba — Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond each scored power-play goals to help lead the Detroit Red Wings to a 4-2 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday night that extended their winning streak to a season-high four games.

Larkin added an empty-net goal and Alex DeBrincat also scored for Detroit. Raymond and Patrick Kane contributed a pair of assists and Moritz Seider had three assists.

Alex Lyon made 21 saves for the Red Wings.

Josh Morrissey and Nikolaj Ehlers scored for the Jets.

Connor Hellebuyck stopped 25 of the 28 shots he faced and was held at 299 career wins for the second game in a row.

Morrissey took a puck to the mouth area in the first period, but returned after getting repairs and seemed to spark his teammates.

The Jets outshot the Red Wings 11-3 in the second period.
