Alex DeBrincat scored two goals and added an assist as the host Detroit Red Wings ended a three-game slide by defeating the Anaheim Ducks 6-3 on Thursday.
Detroit's Moritz Seider and Dylan Larkin each supplied a goal and an assist.
Michael Rasmussen and Axel Sandin-Pellikka had the other goals for the Red Wings, who got two assists apiece from Jonatan Berggren, Lucas Raymond and Patrick Kane.
Former Anaheim goaltender John Gibson stopped 15 of the 17 shots he faced before leaving after two periods due to an undisclosed injury. Cam Talbot got the win in relief, stopping 10 of 11 shots.
Cutter Gauthier, Chris Kreider and Mikael Granlund scored for Anaheim, but Leo Carlsson saw his 11-game point streak come to an end. Lukas Dostal made 27 saves.
The scoreless first period featured seven penalties, including four on the Ducks, who have lost two in a row immediately after a seven-game winning streak.
The second period had plenty of scoring as the Red Wings took a 3-2 lead.
Detroit killed off a Ducks power play early in the middle period. The Red Wings then took advantage of their third man-advantage opportunity to end the scoreless deadlock at 5:57 of the frame.
With Mason McTavish in the penalty box for the third time in the contest, Seider took a shot from the point that floated through traffic and over Dostal's left shoulder.
Anaheim tied it less than two minutes later. Beckett Sennecke brought the puck out of his zone and into Detroit territory. As he skated toward the net, a defender tried to take the puck away, and it skittered onto the stick of Gauthier, who scored his team-high 12th goal.
Rasmussen ripped a shot from the left circle that beat Dostal on the short side at 12:42. Kreider tied it once again at 14:54, but Sandin-Pellikka responded with the second goal of his rookie season on a shot from the point that cut through traffic at 15:33.
DeBrincat made it 4-2 just 50 seconds into the third on his 17th goal in 20 career games against Anaheim. He tipped in a Seider shot with Kreider in the penalty box.
Granlund scored on a deflection at 4:33 to get the Ducks within one, but Larkin answered with a backhander on a 2-on-0 breakaway 33 seconds later.
DeBrincat added an empty-netter with 2:01 remaining.
This game wrapped up the season series between the clubs. Anaheim recorded a 5-2 home victory over Detroit on Oct. 31.
