Larkin nets OT winner, Wings snap six-game slide
Detroit — The Red Wings haven't forgotten how to win, after all.
Overcoming a deflating game-tying goal late in the third period, the Wings defeated Nashville, 4-3, Friday at Little Caesars Arena behind Dylan Larkin's goal with 24.9 seconds left in overtime.
Larkin drove through the slot and backhanded a shot past goalie Pekka Rinne for his 18th goal.
Nashville's Ryan Johansen tied the game at 3 at 18 minutes, 44 seconds of the third period after the Predators had pulled Rinne, converting a pass from Calle Jarnkrok through the slot.
The Wings (16-20-7, 39 points) ended a six-game winless streak, and it was their second win in their last 12 games (2-7-3).
