DETROIT (AP) \u2014 Dylan Larkin<\/a> scored in his first game since asking for a trade, helping the Detroit Red Wings<\/a> to a 5-3 win over the Ottawa Senators<\/a> on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Larkin was initially booed by the home crowd when he touched the puck on his first shift. The boos turned to cheers when he scored in the 13th minute, giving Detroit a lead it never relinquished. He also set up a goal early in the second.<\/p>\n

Alex DeBrincat<\/a> scored twice and Justin Faulk<\/a> and Viktor Arvidsson<\/a> added goals for Detroit. John Gibson<\/a> made 22 saves.<\/p>\n

Drake Batherson<\/a>, Tim Stutzle and William Eklund<\/a> scored for the Senators, who had won their first two games. Samuel Ersson<\/a> had 31 saves.<\/p>\n

DeBrincat opened his scoring in the first with a wrist shot 3:16 into the period, assisted by Nate Danielson<\/a> and Carter Mazur<\/a>. He added a power-play empty-netter with 50 seconds remaining in the third. DeBrincat also had an assist.<\/p>\n

Larkin remains in limbo several months after his trade request became public. He was stripped of the captaincy, reported to training camp despite being injured, missed the start of the season because of injury and received a frosty reaction from home fans during introductions prior to their first game last week.<\/p>\n

Ersson started for Ottawa after entering in relief of injured No. 1 goaltender Linus Ullmark<\/a> for the third period Monday night in Boston. Ullmark did not dress, and the Senators called up Jonas Johansson<\/a> from Belleville of the American Hockey League to back up.<\/p>\n

Ridly Greig<\/a> made his season debut for Ottawa and finished with an assist. Greig served a two-game suspension at the start of the season that he received for roughing during the Senators\u2019 final playoff game against the Carolina Hurricanes<\/a>. Greig was banned for sucker punching Carolina defenseman Sean Walker<\/a> in the second period of Ottawa\u2019s 4-2 loss on April 25.<\/p>\n

Senators: Host Philadelphia on Thursday.<\/p>\n
