Alex DeBrincat scored in overtime to give the host Detroit Red Wings a wild 4-3 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Sunday.
Axel Sandin-Pellikka, Lucas Raymond and James van Riemsdyk also scored for the Red Wings, who have won six of seven games. Andrew Copp collected two assists and John Gibson made 19 saves to earn his sixth consecutive victory.
Drake Batherson collected one goal and one assist for the Senators, who blew an early two-goal lead one day after watching a late two-goal edge disappear in a 6-5 overtime loss to the Montreal Canadiens.
Dylan Cozens and Shane Pinto also scored for Ottawa, which has only two wins in eight games but points in four consecutive outings (2-0-2).
James Reimer stopped 30 shots in his first NHL game of the season, having signed with Ottawa on Monday.
Seconds after the Senators were unable to bury a golden chance, DeBrincat took a pass from Copp during an odd-man rush and lifted a top-corner shot from his off wing for the winner 36 seconds into extra time.
It ended a back-and-forth affair in which both clubs claimed and surrendered a lead.
After Saturday's disappointment, Batherson gave the Senators the early boost they were looking for when he pounced on a rebound at the 4:26 mark.
Cozens doubled the lead 39 seconds later when he buried an open chance from the doorstep for the power-play tally, the third consecutive game he has lit the lamp.
Sandin-Pellikka put the Red Wings on the board around two minutes after that with a power-play goal of his own, a point shot on the mark.
Raymond evened the score at 6:06 of the second period with a highlight-reel goal. While on a 1-on-1 rush, he used the defender as the screen and fired a top-corner wrist shot.
Then van Riemsdyk put the Red Wings ahead with Detroit's second power-play goal of the game, using a nifty play from in close to bury a rebound at 16:53 of the second period. It was his 100th career power-play goal.
However, Pinto tied the clash at 3-3 with Ottawa's second man-advantage marker, a redirect as he crashed the net with 54.3 seconds remaining in the second period.
