Jan 27, 2025 | 9:14 PM

DETROIT (AP) — Marco Kasper scored twice, Lucas Raymond had a goal and three assists, and the Detroit Red Wings rallied to beat the Los Angeles Kings 5-2 on Monday night.

Elmer Soderblom scored his first goal of the season and Alex DeBrincat also scored as Detroit erased a 2-0 first-period deficit. Cam Talbot stopped 23 shots to improve to 8-1 in January.

Quinton Byfield and Kevin Fiala scored for the Kings, and Darcy Kuemper had 23 saves.

Byfield was credited with a goal in the first period when Red Wings defenceman Moritz Seider took a backhanded swipe at the puck off a faceoff in Detroit’s zone. The puck squirted between Talbot’s skate and the goalpost.
