First Period

The game began with an early lead for the Blue Jackets as they scored 1 goal in the first period. The Red Wings struggled to find their rhythm initially, unable to capitalize on their opportunities and leaving them scoreless by the end of this period.

Second Period

In a dramatic turnaround during the second period, Detroit's powerplay unit came alive. The Winged Wheel netted 3 goals thanks to their effective powerplay strategy. Alex DeBrincat and Dylan Larkin were instrumental during this surge, each contributing significantly to leveling up with Columbus' tally of 3 goals in this segment.

Third Period

As both teams entered the third period tied at four apiece, tension was palpable on ice. The Red Wings managed another goal through James van Riemsdyk’s efforts but were matched by an equally determined CBJ squad that added one more goal themselves.

Overtime and Shootout

With neither team able to break through during overtime despite several close calls and strategic plays from both sides including notable saves by Cam Talbot for Detroit; it all came down to a shootout showdown where unfortunately for fans of 'the Wings', they fell short as Columbus clinched victory scoring twice against Talbot’s single save effort.
