Highlights from Sunday's NHL game
(The Sports Xchange) - Highlights from National Hockey League games on Sunday:
Canucks 4, Red Wings 1
Sven Baertschi scored his first two goals of the season, and Derek Dorsett scored his fourth goal in the past three games as the Vancouver Canucks downed the Detroit Red Wings 4-1 on Sunday.
Jake Virtanen added the final goal for Vancouver. Anthony Mantha had the only tally for Detroit.
The Canucks (4-3-1) improved to 3-1-0 on their five-game road trip, while the Red Wings (4-4-1) fell to 0-3-1 in their past four games.
Dorsett snapped a 1-1 tie 8:30 into the second period with his team-leading fifth goal. Detroit goalie Jimmy Howard got a glove on Dorsett's breakaway shot, but the puck bounced over Howard, hit him in the back of the left leg and rolled into the net.
Baertschi made it 3-1 with his second goal of the night, intercepting a clearing attempt by Wings defenseman Xavier Ouellet and whipping a shot past Howard at 13:39 of the second period.
The margin was increased to 4-1 with 24.7 seconds left in the second frame. Daniel Sedin fed Virtanen on a two-on-one. Howard stopped Virtanen's first shot, but Virtanen drove the rebound into the net.
The Canucks opened the scoring at 14:34 of the first period. Bo Horvat's shot toward the Wings net deflected off the stick of Detroit's Dylan Larkin right to Baertschi, who cut around Howard (33 saves) and stuffed the puck home. Brock Boeser also assisted on the goal, giving the Canucks' rookie forward six points in as many games.
Mantha tied the score at 18:28 of the first. Mantha took a pass from Gustav Nyquist and ripped a high snapshot from the of the left faceoff circle into the top corner on goalie Jacob Markstrom's glove side.
