Robby Fabbri had a goal and an assist to lead the Detroit Red Wings to a 4-0 win over the visiting New Jersey Devils on Wednesday.
Lucas Raymond, Dylan Larkin and Moritz Seider each added a goal and Alex Lyon made 16 saves to record his second career shutout and first as a member of the Red Wings, who won for the second time in their past six games.
Daniel Sprong added two assists to help the offensive effort for Detroit, which was playing in its first game back in North America after playing two games in Sweden last week as part of the NHL’s Global Series.
New Jersey has lost five of its past six games and six of its past eight.
Detroit outshot New Jersey 28-16, had 20 blocked shots to eight for the Devils and killed off both power-play opportunities the Devils received.
The Red Wings went on a flurry late in the first period, scoring three goals in a span of 1:12 to take a 3-0 lead.
First, Raymond took a pass from Fabbri on a two-on-one and fired a shot underneath the crossbar from the left of New Jersey goaltender Vitek Vanecek to make it 1-0 Detroit at 16:58.
Just 20 seconds later, Larkin took a pass to the left of the New Jersey goal and placed a backhand between the legs of Vanecek and into the net to give the Red Wings a 2-0 lead.
Fifty-two seconds after that, the Red Wings made it 3-0 when Fabbri laced a shot from the left of Vanecek into a half-open net with 1:50 to go in the first period.
Detroit then made it 4-0 with 10:55 remaining in the second period on a power-play goal by Seider, who blasted a shot from the point through traffic and past Vanecek.
Detroit finished 1-for-4 on the power play.
