Patrick Kane scored twice as the Detroit Red Wings defeated the Calgary Flames 5-2 on Monday night.
Alex DeBrincat provided three assists, while Emmitt Finnie, Moritz Seider and Dominik Shine also found the net for Detroit.
The win ends a rough stretch for the Red Wings, who had lost five of their previous six games.
“It was good to see (Kane) and (DeBrincat) get rewarded for their outstanding play,” Detroit coach Todd McLellan said.
“They’ve been doing it for five or six games now and we’re going to need it,” he added.
Calgary opened the scoring late in the first period through Morgan Frost, but Detroit responded strongly in the second, scoring three goals in just over five minutes.
Kane tied the game early in the period before scoring a second goal minutes later to extend the lead.
“We’ve given up too many strange-man rushes, and I think a little part of that is a lack of recognition of who you’re up against on the ice,” Flames coach Ryan Huska said, according to SportsNet.
“I mean, Patrick Kane is a pretty good player.”
“I thought our first period was pretty good. After that, I think we loosened up a little bit and left the game open. They took advantage of it,” Coronato said.
