The Detroit Red Wings began their longest trip of the season Thursday with an offensive outburst that included a season-high three power-play goals.
But they couldn’t score in the shootout, and it cost them a point in a 6-5 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena.
Kent Johnson and Kirill Marchenko scored in the shootout against Cam Talbot while Elvis Merzlikins denied James van Riemsdyk and Lucas Raymond from scoring.
The Red Wings (14-11-3) continue their six-game trip Saturday in Seattle (10 p.m., FanDuel Sports Network). The Blue Jackets improved to 13-9-5.
Raymond and Patrick Kane each tallied a goal and an assist. Dylan Larkin, van Riemsdyk and Alex DeBrincat scored goals. Moritz Seider and Andrew Copp each added a pair of assists.
Kane and DeBrincat scored 2:03 apart midway through the third period – both beat Merzlikins with a snap shot from the slot. Kane’s goal, at 9:35, ended his nine-game goal-scoring drought and was his fourth of the season. DeBrincat’s goal, at 11:38, was his 14th of the season and 10th in 12 games.
Adam Fantilli, however, scored his second goal of the game with 1:31 remaining to force overtime.
The teams combined for six goals in a wild second period, five of them on the power play.
Larkin tied it at 1-1 at 1:09 on the man-advantage by tipping in a pass from Seider for his 15th goal. He extended his points streak to six games (three goals, four assists).
Dmitri Voronkov received a double-minor penalty for high-sticking Copp at 7:52 and the Red Wings scored twice to tie it at 3-3.
First, Raymond fired in a shot from the circle at 9:08. He has 10 goals and is riding a seven-game points streak (four goals, five assists).
Then van Riemsdyk poked the puck past Merzlikins from the net front at 10:20. It was his fourth goal in five games and fifth of the season.
Fantilli snapped the tie at 13:50 on the power play by whipping in a one-timer from the circle.
The Blue Jackets had taken a 3-1 lead with goals 1:53 apart from Marchenko on the power play (5:18) and Johnson (7:11).
Ivan Provorov staked Columbus to a 1-0 lead at 17:55 of the first period, firing a wrist shot from the top of the circle past a screen.
