The Detroit Red Wings won again on Thursday night, securing an impressive 5-2 victory over the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers. And, once again, Patrick Kane was the catalyst. The star American scored the game-winning goal and added an assist at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise,

He’s been rejuvenated since Todd McLellan took over as Detroit Red Wings coach and on Monday was named the NHL’s third star of the week after collecting six points (two goals, four assists) in three games. It’s the first time this season a Red Wing has been among the league’s weekly three stars.

Patrick Kane scored in overtime to lift the Wings past the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday, kicking off a four-game stand at Little Caesars Arena with a 3-2 victory. The Wings (18-18-4) won their fifth straight game and reached 40 points, but the Senators remained a point ahead at 41.

With a three-point effort Friday, Kane now has 11 points during the Red Wings' current six-game winning streak.

It's not just Kane who needs igniting; Vladimir Tarasenko, added in the offseason for two years at $4.75 million annually, has just four goals among 12 points. With DeBrincat shifted to the second line, Tarasenko will get a tryout on the line with Larkin and Raymond in another effort to get more scoring.

DETROIT – Patrick Kane scored a power-play goal at 2:21 of overtime Tuesday and the Detroit Red Wings defeated the Ottawa Senators 3-2 for their fifth consecutive victory. The Red Wings have climbed back to .500 in points percentage (18-18-4) and at home (10-10-2). They are 5-1-0 under new coach Todd McLellan.

In doing so, Kane recorded his 13th career overtime goal, tying Auston Matthews for the fourth-most by a U.S.-born skater in NHL histo- ry behind Max Pacioretty (16), Johnny Gaudreau (15) and JT Miller (14). Kane leads all Red Wings skaters with four game-winning goals this season.

A number of promising pickups are on waiver wires in fantasy hockey leagues. Here are players to add this week.

When the Detroit Red Wings fired Derek Lalonde at the end of December, sitting 13-18-4 and near the bottom of the NHL’s Eastern Conference, it looked like another postseason-less spring awaited in Motown.
