Extending his point streak to eight consecutive games, Alex DeBrincat opened the scoring with his club-leading 27th goal of the season just 27 seconds into the second period. J.T. Compher fed DeBrincat backdoor, and he one-timed the cross-slot pass past Tarasov to give the Red Wings a 1-0 lead.

Compher logged an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Wild.

Simon Edvinsson pinged a slap shot off the far post for his second goal of the game with 8:25 remaining to finish a rally by the Detroit Red Wings for a 3-2 victory over the Minnesota Wild.

Eight players currently on the Detroit and Columbus rosters played at Michigan, four on each team. The Red Wings have Compher, Larkin, Andrew Copp and Tyler Motte. The Blue Jackets have Adam Fantilli, Jack Johnson, Kent Johnson and Zach Werenski.
