Here’s a recent AP NHL story

DETROIT (AP) — Anthony Beauvillier scored two goals, Joel Blomqvist made 29 saves in his NHL debut and the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Detroit Red Wings 6-3 on Thursday night.

Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, each with two assists, had a hand in four of the six goals as the Penguins bounced back from an early-season 6-0 home loss to the New York Rangers on Wednesday night.

Marcus Pettersson, Erik Karlsson, Kevin Hayes and Drew O’Connor also scored for Pittsburgh.

Alex DeBrincat scored two goals in the Red Wings’ opener. Vladimir Tarasenko added a goal.

Takeaways

Penguins: With his two assists, Crosby has eight multi-point games in his last 11 games against the Red Wings. In his 22 games against Detroit, the Pittsburgh captain scored 18 goals and 28 assists. Pittsburgh is 10-2-2 in their last 14 games against the Red Wings and 5-2 in their last seven games in Detroit.

Red Wings: Goaltender Ville Husso was sent off at 5:28 of the second period after allowing four goals on 14 shots. He was unable to complete his final two starts of the 2023-24 season due to lower-body injuries. Husso’s last 60-minute game came on December 14 in a 2-1 loss to Carolina. Red Wings defenseman Jeff Petry left the game in the second period with an upper-body injury.

Key moment

Tied 1-1 early in the second period, the Penguins scored three goals in a 2:28 span early in the second period to take control.

Key statistics

The defensive improvements promised by the Red Wings were not evident in their opening game. Last season they allowed four or more goals in 39 of 82 games.
