DETROIT (AP) \u2014 Carter Yakemchuk<\/a> scored a second-period goal and also had an assist in his NHL debut as the streaking Ottawa Senators<\/a> edged the Detroit Red Wings<\/a> 3-2 on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Yakemchuk, the No. 7 overall pick of the 2024 draft, had been playing for the American Hockey League\u2019s Belleville Senators. He was called up earlier in the day with defencemen Thomas Chabot<\/a>, Dennis Gilbert<\/a>, Nick Jensen<\/a>, Jake Sanderson<\/a> and Lassi Thomson<\/a> sidelined by injuries.<\/p>\n

Yakemchuk, a 20-year-old defenceman from Alberta, had 10 goals in 50 games with Belleville. <\/p>\n

Brady Tkachuk<\/a> scored his 20th goal of the season for the Senators, who have won four straight and nine of their last 11 games. Lars Eller<\/a> scored the other goal for the Senators. Linus Ullmark<\/a> made 32 saves as the Senators continued their late push for an Eastern Conference playoff berth.<\/p>\n

Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin<\/a> scored on a third-period power play in his first game since missing seven games with a lower-body injury.<\/p>\n

Dominik Shine<\/a> had the other Red Wings goal while John Gibson<\/a> stopped 18 shots. Detroit had won its three previous meetings with Ottawa this season.<\/p>\n

Alex DeBrincat<\/a> seemingly gave the Red Wings the lead late in the first period. His power-play goal was challenged by Ottawa and the officials ruled that Detroit was offside.<\/p>\n

The Senators converted on a power play with 2:45 remaining in the period when Tkachuk tipped in Tim Stutzle\u2019s shot. <\/p>\n

Yakemchuk scored at 9:28 of the second period. He skated in from the point to the right circle and beat Gibson on the glove side. <\/p>\n

Eller made it 3-0 less than two minutes later. <\/p>\n
