The Detroit Red Wings fell 5-4 in overtime to the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday, with left winger Jake DeBrusk scoring a hat trick, including the game-winner in overtime.
DeBrusk scored two power-play goals in a span of 43 seconds early in the second period and assisted on Erik Brannstrom’s goal to tie the game with 3:20 left in regulation time. Pius Suter also scored for Vancouver.
Lankinen is now 10-0-0 on the road this season, surpassing previous record holders Glenn Hall (1965-66) and Cam Talbot (2023-24). Talbot, Detroit’s starting goalie on Sunday, played for Los Angeles last season.
Jonatan Berggren had a goal and an assist, while Alex DeBrincat, Michael Rasmussen and Vladimir Tarasenko also scored for the Red Wings.
Talbot left the game in the second period with a lower-body injury after making 12 saves. Ville Husso replaced him and made 15 saves, including three goals.
The Canucks are 4-1 on their current six-game road trip and 10-2 on the road this season.
Tarasenko, the Red Wings’ biggest offensive acquisition in free agency this offseason, has scored in back-to-back games after a 16-game scoring drought.
Penalties against Simon Edvinsson and Justin Holl at the end of the first period gave Vancouver a 5-on-3 lead going into the second period. DeBrusk took advantage of Detroit’s penalty-kill unit, which ranked last in the league, to score on a tip-in and a rebound.
Suter, a fifth-year center who played two seasons with Detroit, scored six goals in 11 career games against the Red Wings.
The Red Wings visit Boston on Tuesday.
