OTTAWA, Ontario — Jonathan Bernier stopped 35 shots for his first shutout of the season and the Detroit Red Wings defeated the Ottawa Senators 2-0 Saturday night.
Danny DeKeyser and Darren Helm scored for the Red Wings, who won their third straight and improved to 5-2-0 in their last seven games.
Both teams were playing the second half of a back-to-back. The Red Wings posted a 3-2 overtime win over Toronto, while Ottawa lost 5-3 to Pittsburgh.
The Wings' victory on Friday night was particularly costly, as forward Dylan Larkin suffered a strained oblique during overtime, general manager Ken Holland told the Free Press on Saturday.
