“It all happened pretty fast,” Cholowski aaid. “I hopped on the ice, saw a gap in the middle and [Robby Fabbri] gave me a really good pass. Their D-man was kind of back in their zone a little bit, so I figured why not go in and shoot it, and it went in.”
Larkin’s goal came on a 6-on-3 power play after the Ducks had taken a pair of penalties and the goalie pulled for the extra attacker.
Jonathan Bernier made 24 saves to get the win.
Jakob Silfverberg, Josh Mahura and Cam Fowler scored in the middle frame to give the Ducks a 3-2 lead heading to the third period.

Filip Hronek and Andreas Athanasiou potted goal in the second period for Detroit.
“I thought we controlled the game for the better part of that game,” Ducks defenseman Erik Gudbranson said. “I thought we did the right things and kind of established our game again. That’s something to built off of.”
