DETROIT — All that work the Red Wings put in on the power play the last few days proved to be beneficial.

The Wings scored twice on the power play Thursday, spurring them to a 6-3 victory over Anaheim at Little Caesars Arena.

Moritz Seider and Alex DeBrincat had the power-play goals. DeBrincat, who screened Anaheim goaltender Lukas Dostal on Seider's goal, gave the Wings a 4-2 lead just 50 seconds into the third period, deflecting Seider's shot from the point.

The Wings were 2 for 4 on the power play — they entered the game with one power-play goal in their last 20 chances — while killing all three Anaheim power plays.

The Wings (10-7-0) ended a three-game losing streak, while Anaheim (11-5-1) lost its second consecutive game to begin a road trip.

Anaheim's Mikael Granlund cut the Wings' lead to 4-3 with his third goal, a deflection past goaltender Cam Talbot at the 4:33 mark.

But Dylan Larkin swiped a puck at the blue line and on a 2-on-0 rush with Lucas Raymond and scored his 10th goal at the 5:06 mark to restore the Wings' two-goal lead, 5-3.

DeBrincat added his second goal, and sixth of the season, on an empty-netter to make it 6-3.

Seider (power play, second goal), Michael Rasmussen (second goal) and Axel Sandin-Pellikka (second goal) had second-period Red Wings goals. Cutter Gauthier (12th goal) and Chris Kreider (10th goal) answered for Anaheim in the high-scoring middle period.

Talbot replaced goaltender John Gibson after two periods. Gibson was tripped up in his net with 40 seconds left in the second period by Anaheim's Beckett Sennecke and immediately appeared to be favoring, and flexing, his lower body.

Gibson also took a couple of shots in his mask during the game. He stopped 15 of 17 shots, including all 10 he saw in the first period in what was one of his best periods as a Wing.
