Defenseman Simon Edvinsson scored 1:30 into overtime to give the visiting Detroit Red Wings a 3-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday night.
Patrick Kane posted a goal and an assist and Jonatan Berggren also scored for Detroit, which had lost its past two games. Cam Talbot made 31 saves.
Bryan Rust and Anthony Beauvillier got the goals for Pittsburgh, which lost for the fourth time in five games (1-2-2). Alex Nedeljkovic stopped 28 shots.
Edvinsson scored on a snap slot from the slot after taking a pass from Alex DeBrincat. It was Edvinsson's second goal of the season and the fifth of his career.
The Red Wings took a 2-0 lead in the first 5:15 of the second period.
Berggren tallied a minute into the second with his first goal of the season. He scored on a wrist shot from the bottom of the left circle off the rush. It broke a scoreless streak of nearly 112 minutes for Detroit, dating back to the second period of Friday night's 3-1 loss to the host Toronto Maple Leafs.
Kane then put in a one-timer from the bottom of the right circle, converting a pass from Dylan Larkin, for his third goal of the season.
The Penguins then scored twice in the period to tie it.
Rust cut in off the left wing, going around Red Wings' defenseman Moritz Seider. Rust then skated across the top of the crease and swept a forehand shot past Talbot at 7:19 of the middle period. It was Rust's fourth goal.
Beauvillier made it 2-2 just over five minutes later when he scored from the bottom of the right circle for his fifth goal.
The Red Wings outshot the Penguins 12-10 in the first period.
The best scoring chance came off the stick of Pittsburgh's Evgeni Malkin, but Talbot made a glove save on the snap shot from the slot with a little more than four minutes left in the opening period. It was one of Malkin's five shots in the first. He and teammate Sidney Crosby each had six shots on goal for the game.
