GLENDALE, Ariz. -- After not generating much offense for the first 50 minutes, the Detroit Red Wings rallied late to end the Arizona Coyotes' four-game winning streak with a 3-2 overtime victory at Gila River Arena on Thursday.
Pavel Datsyuk and Gustav Nyquist scored power-play goals 2:30 apart in the final nine minutes of the third period, and Danny DeKeyser scored the winner at 2:08 of overtime.
Detroit goalie Petr Mzarek made big saves on Tobias Rieder and Martin Hanzal in overtime before Larkin raced to the Arizona net, curled back with the puck from below the goal line and set up DeKeyser at the top of the left hash marks for a wrist shot over Coyotes goalie Louis Domingue's glove.
"Anytime [Larkin] and Pavel are on the ice, we try to hit [Larkin] with some speed, and he was really flying out there," DeKeyser said. "He made a nice play to set me up. He's as skilled as they come for a 19-year-old and a huge playmaker that really flies out there.
"We just kept battling and putting pucks at the net. It wasn't the prettiest game, but we were happy to get out of there with the two points."
Detroit (23-14-7) went 5-1-0 on its six-game road trip.
The Red Wings were 2-for-3 on the power play after going 1-for-8 over the first five games of the trip.
The success with the man-advantage allowed Larkin to work his magic.
"One thing about [Larkin]: He's a transporter and a shooter, but he can make a play and he made a play there," Detroit coach Jeff Blashill said. "He created a little chaos out there."
Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Shane Doan scored in the second period to give the Coyotes a 2-0 lead, but penalties to Antoine Vermette and Anthony Duclair gave the Red Wings their opening, and they took advantage.
Mrazek made 27 saves to win his fifth straight game.
Datsyuk had a goal and two assists Thursday and five points in two games against Arizona this season. He has 16 goals and 64 points in 46 career games against the Coyotes.
"It was a long trip and we needed to finish strong, and we did," Datsyuk said. "We started slow, but we turned it around in the third, and it's good everybody played 60 minutes."
The Coyotes (22-16-5) lost for the first time in five games; they have lost once in regulation in the past 13 games (9-1-3).
Domingue made 22 saves. He is 7-0-3 in 10 starts this season.
With Vermette in the penalty box for hooking Brendan Smith, Datsyuk scored through a Justin Abdelkader screen at 11:50 to cut the Arizona lead to 2-1.
Then Duclair gave the Red Wings another chance with the man-advantage 1:15 later when he hooked down Tomas Jurco.
Domingue stretched out to make a nice stick save on Nyquist, who dove after the rebound in the crease and pushed Domingue's goal stick and the puck over the goal line at 14:20 to get the Red Wings even.
It was Nyquist's 13th goal but his first in 11 games.
"It's a great feeling to get that one and hopefully it gets me going," Nyquist said. "When you haven't scored, you think about it, you guys make me think about it. To get one that ties the game was pretty nice."
Coyotes coach Dave Tippett challenged the goal, claiming Abdelkader interfered with Domingue, but it was upheld following a video review.
"Abdelkader's leg is stuck in Domingue's pad so he can't get across," Tippett said. "To me, it is inhibiting the goaltender's ability to make a save. I'd call it 10 out of 10 times. You look at it, and I can't believe it's not (interference), but that's the way it goes.
"The Vermette (penalty) was a soft call. It was too good a hockey game, and you just hate to see calls like that get made. But you can't take those penalties to give them momentum. It's as simple as that."
Blashill said he wasn't surprised Nyquist's goal was upheld.
"The challenge [was implemented] to eliminate goals that were egregious penalties, not ones that were borderline," he said. "Those are the goals I think everyone wants to count, to be honest with you."
Arizona used a good forecheck to cause a Detroit turnover and open the scoring at 4:51 of the second period.
Jordan Martinook separated Red Wings defenseman Mike Green from the puck, and Doan found Brad Richardson alone in the right faceoff circle. Richardson's shot never made it through, but Ekman-Larsson got to the puck at the left hash marks for a wrist shot that hit Datsyuk and Mrazek's pad on the way into the net.
Ekman-Larsson's 13th goal was his sixth in the past 10 games. He has 13 points over the same span.
The Coyotes kept the pressure up and forced two late Red Wings penalties in the period, capitalizing on the second to extend their lead.
With Datsyuk in the box for hooking Ekman-Larsson, Doan whacked away at a rebound of a Boedker shot in the crease before Rieder steered the puck wide and attempted a backhand shot. The puck deflected off Doan's skate near the goal line and slid over at 18:50 for Arizona's 14th power-play goal in the past 10 games.
Doan has 16 goals in 34 games, two more than he had all of last season. It was his 121st NHL power-play goal, one shy of Dale Hawerchuk's Coyotes/Winnipeg Jets franchise record.
