Overview
- Detroit beat Chicago 3-1 behind 27 saves from Cam Talbot and a perfect penalty kill that denied all six Blackhawks power plays.
- J. T. Compher, Michael Brandsegg-Nygård and Lucas Raymond scored, with notable effort plays from Elmer Soderblom and Jonatan Berggren creating two of the goals.
- Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat did not play on the back-to-back, as the Red Wings continued mixing regulars with prospects late in preseason.
- The win followed a 2-1 home loss to Pittsburgh in which Todd McLellan called Detroit "slow and sloppy" and said some older players must elevate quickly.
- Prospects such as Brandsegg-Nygård, Emmitt Finnie, Carter Mazur and Axel Sandin Pellikka continued to get extended looks as Detroit heads into two remaining tune-ups against Toronto.
