Jake DeBrusk's Hat Trick and Lankinen's Landmark Victory Propel Canucks Over Red Wings in 5-4 Overtime Excitement

Sunday, December 1st, 2024

In Detroit, Jake DeBrusk delivered an impressive performance with a hat trick, including the game-winning goal in overtime, leading the Vancouver Canucks to a 5-4 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday.

DeBrusk's two power-play goals in the early stages of the game and Erik Brannstrom's goal that tied the score late in regulation were pivotal moments. Additionally, goaltender Kevin Lankinen set a new NHL benchmark by achieving his 10th consecutive road win to begin the season, surpassing records set by Glenn Hall and Cam Talbot.

Jonatan Berggren was a standout for the Red Wings, tallying a goal and an assist. Alex DeBrincat, Michael Rasmussen, and Vladimir Tarasenko also contributed goals. Ville Husso entered the game in the second period, taking over from the injured starting goaltender, Cam Talbot.

The Canucks benefited from a robust road performance (winning 4 out of 5 games on their current trip, with a 10-2 overall record) and took advantage of the 5-on-3 penalties against Detroit during the first period, with DeBrusk exploiting their vulnerable penalty kill.

Former Detroit player Suter has now netted six goals against the Red Wings in 11 career matchups.

The Canucks will conclude their road trip against Minnesota on Tuesday, while on the same day, the Red Wings are set to visit Boston.
