Detroit Red Wings’ 3-game win streak quacks up vs Ducks on 2nd night of SoCal back-to-back
Detroit Red Wings on opening month: ‘We know what we’re capable of’
Detroit Red Wings Moritz Seider, Lucas Raymond & Todd McLellan, Oct. 31, 2025 in Anaheim, Calif.
ANAHEIM, Calif. — The Detroit Red Wings, looking a bit tired from playing a long game night before, had a hard time slowing down as fast as an opponent as they’ve seen so far this season.
The Wings used the same roster against the Anaheim Ducks on Friday, Oct. 31, as had played 24 hours earlier up I-5 in Los Aneles, except for a change in goal. But the Ducks were too much to handle, and the Wings wound up losing, 5-2, at Honda Center to snap a three-game win streak.
The game featured a steady path to the penalty box for both sides, with six infractions called in the second and four straight within the first eight minutes of the third period. When the Red Wings (8-4-0) got a man advantage with 5:27 to play, it was their seventh power play of the game.
The Wings pulled John Gibson, making his return to the arena where he starred with the Ducks for 12 seasons, soon after that expired for an extra attacker, but Troy Terry took advantage to score his second of the night. Leo Carlsson had a four-point night.
Tired start
The Wings came into Anaheim off a late night Thursday, when their game against the Los Angeles Kings went all the way to a shootout. They looked tired at the start against the Ducks, and were burned on a power play for a second straight night, with Terry taking off on a breakaway with Axel Sandin Pellika giving chase only to see Terry fire the puck behind Gibson. But the Wings were able to even the score within four minutes, when Dylan Larkin sprang Lucas Raymond, who picked up his third goal of the season on a wrist shot.
Carlsson, the second overall pick in 2023, scored when Terry carried the puck into Detroit’s zone, went unchallenged by Simon Edvinsson’s stick waving, and found Carlsson, who made it 2-1 with a shot from the right circle.
The Wings celebrated a goal at 4:57 of the second period, only to have it taken away after an extensive video review. Alex DeBrincat whipped a pass to Marco Kasper. Goalie Lukas Dostal stopped that, but Moritz Seider got to the rebound. Officials deemed that Seider kicked the puck in, though it appeared on replays that he was trying to kick the puck to his stick. The bottom line: It remained 2-1 to the Ducks.
At least for a few minutes more, until Mason McTavish circled around a crowd in front of the crease and flung the puck on net, making it 3-1 at 6:35. DeBrincat turned a pass from Raymond into a 3-2 game. DeBrincat now has goals in four straight games.
The Ducks reclaimed a two-goal lead when Chris Kreider scored 55 seconds into the third period, with officials ruling Gibson caused his net to jump off its moorings prior to the puck going into the net.

Detroit Tigers blow lead, lose to Kansas City Royals on walk-off hit.
The Tigers lost, 4-3, to the Royals on Kyle Isbel’s walk-off single in the ninth inning.
Kansas City, Mo. — The losing streak is now five games. The road record is now an MLB-worst 6-16.
The Kansas City Royals prolonged the Tigers’ misery Saturday night with a relatively breezy 5-1 win at Kauffman Stadium.
Oh, and the Tigers might’ve lost another player in the process.
Right fielder Kerry Carpenter left the game in the third inning. He banged his left shoulder running into the side wall chasing Bobby Witt Jr.’s first-inning, two-run, inside-the-park home run.
Witt, a right-handed hitter, sliced a drive inside the bag at first. Carpenter chased it toward the side wall, but the ball caromed past him. Witt never stopped running.
Carpenter stayed in the game and even rolled an infield single in the second inning. But he was replaced by Wenceel Perez when the Royals came to bat in the third inning.
BOX SCORE: Royals 5, Tigers 1
He was being evaluated during the game.
The two-run homer by Witt ended up being more than the Tigers’ sputtering offense could overcome. But, for good measure, Michael Massey added a three-run home run off Ty Madden in the fourth inning.
Madden ended up being one of the few bright spots in the game for the Tigers. He pitched six innings and allowed just one other hit. He set down the last 11 hitters he faced.
He entered in the third inning after opener Burch Smith and lefty Tyler Holton worked one time through the Royals’ batting order.
Holton made a nifty escape in the first inning. With runners at second and third and one out, and two runs already in, Jac Caglianone hit a hard ground ball to second baseman Zach McKinstry, who was playing in on the grass.
McKinstry got the out at first. The runner at second, Carter Jensen, mistakenly broke for third where Vinnie Pasquantino was holding.
Spencer Torkelson threw to shortstop Kevin McGonigle who threw to catcher Jake Rogers once Pasquantino broke for home — your basic 4-3-6-2 double-play.
Not much else went the Tigers’ way.
Royals right-hander Michael Wacha snuffed out the few scoring opportunities the Tigers mustered.
He worked around an error and a McKinstry stolen base in the third innings. He got Jake Rogers to pop to shallow right field with runners at first and third and one out and then got Matt Vierling to ground out with the bases loaded in the fifth.
Wacha allowed two hits in seven innings. The Tigers put 18 balls in play against him with a soft average exit velocity of 84.4 mph.
The Tigers broke through in the eighth against lefty reliever Matt Strahm. And it was left-handed hitters who did the dirty work. Riley Greene, who extended his career-high on-base streak to 20 games, doubled home McGonigle.
This season is a long way from over but Tigers, 18-22, are in serious need a course correction.

4Warn Weather – SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy skies. A chance of showers and thunderstorms. A few storms could be strong with gusty winds and hail. High: 71.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy skies, becoming partly cloudy skies late. Low: 45.
SUNDAY (MOTHER’S DAY): Mix of sunshine and clouds, cooler temperatures. High: 61.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy skies. Another chilly night. Low: 41.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny skies, remaining chilly. High: 58.
After a beautiful end to the week on Friday with sunshine and a little cloud cover, with warmer temperatures moving into the region as well, some of us are waking up to some patchy dense fog on Saturday morning. Some places south of M-59 are seeing reduced visibilities down to around a mile. If you do run into some patchy dense fog, be sure to use your low beams.
That warming trend continues into the start of the weekend on Saturday, but it also brings a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Another cold front will work through the region by Saturday afternoon and early Saturday evening and that will bring our thunderstorm chance. High temperature is warming into low 70s by Saturday afternoon.
The Storm Prediction Center has placed most of the region under a Marginal Risk (1 out of 5) on our severe weather scale for the start of the weekend. Gusty winds and hail are the primary threats as we work through the start of the weekend, but this will not be a widespread threat for severe thunderstorms.
Behind that cold front for the end of the weekend on Sunday, we will keep a mixture of sunshine and clouds into the forecast. High temperatures running about 10 to 15° cooler to end the weekend. Expect high to warm into the upper 50s to lower 60s by Sunday afternoon.
Drier weather sticks around for the start of next week, before another chance of rain moves into the region by the time we get to Tuesday. The cooler-than-average temperatures will continue into the start of next week as well. Expect high temperatures to remain in the 50s for Monday and Tuesday.
Temperature start to warm up by the middle of next week, and Drier weather moves back in by Wednesday behind another cold front moving into the region. Expect high temperatures into the lower 60s on Wednesday to warm into the upper 60s by the time we get to Thursday. Above average temperatures move back into the region as we look ahead into the end of the week, expect high temperatures back into the lower 70s by the time we get to Friday.
