The Red Wings tied it at 4:19 of the period. Lucas Raymond took a shot that dribbled past Soderblom in the crease and Larkin managed to tip it into the net while getting knocked down. Simon Edvinsson had the second assist.

Chicago regained the lead on a power play early in the second period. With Travis Hamonic in the penalty box for roughing, Teravainen scored on a slapshot from the right circle off a Burakovsky pass. Bertuzzi picked up the second assist.

Larkin nearly tied it midway through the period from point-blank range, but Soderblom made a skate save.
