On Tuesday night, the Detroit Red Wings beat the Ottawa Senators 5-3. Dylan Larkin scored his first goal since requesting a trade, which initially drew boos from the Detroit crowd but later cheers when he put the team ahead early in the game. Alex DeBrincat contributed two goals and an assist for Detroit, while Justin Faulk and Viktor Arvidsson also scored. John Gibson made 22 saves for Detroit. For Ottawa, Drake Batherson, Tim Stutzle, and William Eklund each scored a goal; Samuel Ersson had 31 saves. This was the first loss for the Senators after winning their first two games of the season. Larkin's return to play comes several months after he requested a trade and faced fan criticism following his captaincy being revoked due to his request.
