Pavel Datsyuk finally showed up for the Detroit Red Wings(4-4-2) scoring two goals in a wild third period that saw the Wings come from behind to pick up their first road victory of the season with a 5-4 victory over the Vancouver Canucks(6-6-0).
The Canucks jumped out to a quick 2-0 start off of goals by Henrik Sedin and Ryan Kesler. Tomas Holmstrom would put the Wings on the board with a goal in the first period to make the score 2-1.
The Wings would be shut out by Roberto Luongo(37 saves) in the second period but they found away around him in the third period. Niklas Cronwell would tie things up for the Wings with a goal less than four minutes into the final period making it 2-2. The Canucks would pick up a power play goal to regain the lead when Mathieu Schneider put the puck past Jimmy Howard, who replaced Chris Osgood after only four shots. Then Pavel Datsyuk scored his first goal of the season that evened things up once again at 3-3. Datsyuk would score again about three minutes later to put the Wings ahead for the first time at 4-3. Sedin would score his second goal of the game to tie things back up. The Wings would go on the power play with 5:03 remaining and they would make the Canucks pay for it. Jason Williams would be the final player to score in the crazy third period that featured 6 goals including his game winner to make the score 5-4 Detroit.
