OTTAWA -- Like most teenagers, Detroit Red Wings winger Dylan Larkin hears what he wants to hear.

"We talked to him a little bit about pulling up and hitting late attackers," Detroit coach Jeff Blashill said of Larkin's third-period goal, a wraparound off a rush in a 5-3 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday night at Canadian Tire Centre. "So it's good he's not listening to us."

Told minutes earlier by reporters that the goal was his first game-winner, Larkin was surprised.

"I didn't even know," he said. "But it feels good just to hear the word win. You could feel the pressure. The guys were really dialed in. Just a huge win for us."

Five Red Wings had multi-point games as Detroit exacted some revenge for a 3-1 beating by the Senators 24 hours earlier and tasted victory for just the second time in eight games.

Scoring the other goals for Detroit (5-5-1) were wingers Tomas Tartar and Gustav Nyqvist, and defensemen Jonathan Ericsson and Danny DeKeyser.

Tartar, Nyqvist and DeKeyser also had assists, and center Henrik Zetterberg and defenseman Niklas Kronwall had two assists each.

Red Wings goalie Petr Mrazek made 33 saves to pick up his third win of the season against three losses.

"For us, it was nice to get a win, but now we just got to do it again," Zetterberg said. "You can't just be one and done."

Center Kyle Turris scored the first goal for the Senators (5-4-2) and wingers Mark Stone and Bobby Ryan added singles in the last 5:35 with the game out of reach.

Senators goalie Craig Anderson stopped 23 shots as his record fell to 4-3-1.

Concerning for Ottawa is the fact it has one win, in a shootout with Calgary, through six home games.

"It's an issue," Senators defenseman Erik Karlsson said. "I don't think it's because we're at home. It's various reasons today."

One of them was special teams play. The Red Wings took a 3-1 lead into the third period thanks largely to capitalizing on their first two power-play chances. The Senators managed seven shots but no goals on their first two opportunities with the man-advantage.

The Red Wings finished 2-for-3 on the power play and the Senator were 0- for-3.

"I think we moved the puck well, I think we had a good power play and we generated a lot of momentum," Karlsson said. "We just couldn't find a way to score goals."

Just as worrisome for the Senators, however, is the way they played in the third period after Larkin's goal at 39 seconds. After coming from well back of the pack to clinch a playoff spot in the final nine weeks last season, they were missing the same kind of fight.

"I think in the third period we just really gave up after they made it 4-1 really early, which is not what we need," Stone said. "It's always concerning when you get blown out at home. You never want to lose like that on home ice. I think over the last five games on home ice, it's been nothing but bad things that have been going our way.

"We need to find a way to play with as much intensity as we do on the road."

Coach Dave Cameron was left scratching his head.

"On the road, we're fine. At home, for some reason, we're not able to carry it over," said Cameron, who had a longer-than-usual discussion with his players after the game. "I have a few theories that I expressed with them tonight, but you have to get the answers from them. You have to get our leadership ... the guys that play the most."

Meanwhile, Blashill thought the difference was in the second period when the Red Wings outshot the Senators 12-7 and outscored them 2-1.

"I liked our game," he said. "I thought the second period was as good as we had done throughout the season in terms of having zone time, kind of grinding it in their end, getting changes, getting new guys out there and continuing to grind. That's the way we want to play, that's what we want to be as a hockey team."
