DETROIT _ The Red Wings haven't had to go to overtime or a shootout often this season.
They've usually decided the outcome _ usually a loss _ in regulation time.
They had to work extra time Friday and came away with a 3-2 shootout win over Ottawa.
The Wings won the shootout 1-0, with Dylan Larkin scoring the goal while Jonathan Bernier stopped all three Senators shooters.
Friday's game was the fourth past regulation this season _ the second on a shootout _ for the Wings (12-30-3), who won their second consecutive game.
Each team had to kill a penalty in overtime, with the Wings getting the better of the scoring chances.
Tyler Bertuzzi, Mike Green and Valtteri Filppula had quality scoring chances in overtime against goalie Marcus Hogberg during one sequence after a Wings power play had expired, but somehow the puck did not go in the net despite Hogberg scrambling all over the crease.
Bertuzzi and Dylan Larkin (power play) had Wings goals in regulation, while Brady Tkachuk and Colin White (power play) scored for Ottawa.
Larkin's goal was one that will be in every highlight show this weekend. Larkin transported the puck basically coast to coast, driving around Ottawa defenseman Ron Hainsey last, and tucked the past Hogberg for his 11th goal, giving the Wings a 2-0 lead.
But the Senators countered quickly, with Tkachuk banking a centering pass off Patrik Nemeth's skate and into the net just 22 seconds after Larkin scored.
The Senators tied it 2-2 at 10:42 of the second period, with White, who was skating through the slot, redirecting a Mike Reilly shot from the high slot past Bernier.
