Red Wings 4, Jets 3
Tomas Tatar scored twice and capped a three-point night with the tiebreaking tally with 4:50 to play in the third period to lift visiting Detroit.
Justin Abdelkader scored the tying goal and set up Tatar's game-winner while Johan Franzen added a power-play tally as the Red Wings posted back-to-back wins for the first time since Oct. 29-31. Petr Mrazek turned aside 28 shots to win his season debut.
Dustin Byfuglien, Adam Lowry and Mathieu Perreault scored for the Jets, who suffered their first home regulation loss in five games (3-1-1). Ondrej Pavelec made 23 saves in suffering his third straight loss.
Kane set up the first of five second-period goals with a between-the-legs pass that Byfuglien buried on the doorstep at 2:15 before Lowry doubled the lead, swatting a rebound past Mrazek just over seven minutes later. Detroit needed only 30 seconds to respond when Tatar pounced on a turnover by defenseman Tobias Enstrom and ripped a shot past Pavelec from the right hash marks.
Franzen tied it on the power play, going around blue-liner Mark Stuart on the right wing before converting a snap shot, but Winnipeg reclaimed the lead when Perreault came out from behind the net and scored on a turnaround wrist shot with 3:48 left in the period. Abdelkader jammed home a puck in front with seven minutes to play for the equalizer before setting Tatar up for a one-timer just over two minutes later.
