Josh Norris' two-goal night just enough as Senators edge Red Wings

Josh Norris' second goal of the game came with 42 seconds left and gave the host Ottawa Senators a 2-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday night.

Norris, who is from the Detroit suburb of Oxford, Mich., and played at the University of Michigan, beat Red Wings' goalie Ville Husso with a wrist shot from the high slot off the rush. It was Norris' 11th goal of the season.

Drake Batherson had two assists and Linus Ullmark made 19 saves for Ottawa, which snapped a two-game losing streak.

Alex BeBrincat scored the only goal for Detroit, and Husso stopped 30 shots. The Red Wings lost their fourth consecutive game.

DeBrincat's 4-on-3 power-play goal 6:15 into the third period tied the game 1-1. DeBrincat's one-time shot from the left face-off dot off a pass from J.T. Compher beat Ullmark for his 11th goal if the season.

Norris' first goal gave the Senators a 1-0 lead with 7:46 left in the first period. He backhanded in his own rebound after a turnover by the Red Wings' Lucas Raymond in his own zone.

It appeared that Ottawa had taken a 2-0 lead 4:29 into the second period. However, Batherson's apparent power-play goal -- in which he tapped in a rebound off the backboards -- was wiped out after Detroit challenged that the play was offside and the goal was nullified.

Detroit did not have many chances in the first two periods and missed the opportunity for a big one when captain Dylan Larkin had a breakaway with 7:41 remaining in the middle period. The puck rolled off of Larkin's stick as he attempted to take a shot from the slot area.

The Senators had a 27-12 advantage in shots after two periods.

Ottawa outshot Detroit 14-8 in the opening period. The Red Wings' first shot did not come until 6:20 into the game and was by defenseman Simon Edvinsson. The Senators already had six shots by that point.
