Detroit Red Wings Get Past Arizona with Four Different Goalscorers

Four different goalscorers helped propel the Detroit Red Wings to a 4-2 victory over the Arizona Coyotes on Thursday night in Glendale, Arizona.

It was a quick turnaround for the Red Wings as they earned their second road victory of the season.

How it Happened

Neither team was able to find the back of the net in the first period. However, a flurry of goals would come in the second period.

Clayton Keller tallied the first goal of the game which would also be his first of two goals on the night.

A Red Wings power play goal would tie things up just past the halfway mark of the second period. Martin Frk blasted a shot past the goaltender with Mike Green recording his seventh assist of the season.

Keller scored late in the second to put the Coyotes back on top but Henrik Zetterberg would make it 2-2 just one minute later.

The game would be decided in the final five minutes of regulation as the Red Wings would put two past the Coyotes to claim the victory. Luke Glendening and Dylan Larkin raced down the race to record the Wings first shorthanded goal of the season with Glendening applying the finish.

Frans Nielsen scored an empty-net goal with less than two minutes remaining to close out the 4-2 win.
