Los Angeles Kings at Detroit Red Wings
· National Hockey League2 - 5
Kasper, Raymond help Red Wings beat Kings 5-2
Elmer Soderblom scored his first goal of the season and Alex DeBrincat also scored as Detroit erased a 2-0 first-period deficit. Cam Talbot stopped 23 shots to improve to 8-1 in January.
Quinton Byfield and Kevil Fiala scored for the Kings, and Darcy Kuemper had 23 saves.
Byfield was credited with a goal in the first period when Red Wings defenseman Moritz Seider took a backhanded swipe at the puck off a faceoff in Detroit's zone. The puck squirted between Talbot's skate and the goalpost.
Red Wings: With forward Patrick Kane, J.T. Compher and Vladimir Tarasenko all sidelined by injury or illness, 31-year-old Dominik Shine made his NHL debut. Shine, who had appeared in 462 AHL games with Grand Rapids, skated on the fourth line.
Series tied 1-1
