DETROIT \u2013 Dylan Larkin scored on a breakaway with 1:24 remaining in overtime and John Gibson bounced back with a 32-save performance Friday as the Detroit Red Wings defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 at Little Caesars Arena.<\/p>\n
The Red Wings (4-1-0) have won four in a row, capping a season-opening stretch of five games against Atlantic Division opponents.<\/p>\n
The Red Wings led 1-0 most of the night on rookie Axel Sandin-Pellikka\u2019s first career goal. <\/p>\n
J.J. Moser tied it with 3:43 remaining in regulation, after Gibson, who faced 19 shots in the third period, made several big stops to protect the lead.<\/p>\n
Larkin\u2019s goal was his third of the season as he beat Andrei Vasilevskiy and the Lightning dropped to 1-2-2.<\/p>\n
It was Gibson\u2019s first appearance since being pulled in a 5-1 loss to Montreal eight days prior in the season opener. Detroit\u2019s solid defense and strong penalty killing \u2013 Tampa Bay had no shots during three power plays \u2013 helped.<\/p>\n
Sandin-Pellikka scored the only goal through two periods, converting at 13:02 of the first during a delayed penalty call. He fired a long wrist through a screen, the puck sailing between Mason Appleton\u2019s skates.<\/p>\n
The Red Wings wrap up a three-game homestand Sunday against Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers (3 p.m., FanDuel Sports Network).<\/p>\n
