Gordie Howe returns to Joe Louis Arena

Richards had three assists while Kindl and Kronwall had two apiece for the Red Wings. The Wings led 2-1 after two periods.

With 5:31 left in the second, Andrew Shaw tied things up, snapping a shot from the left faceoff dot through a screen by Bryan Bickell on a Chicago power play and beating Detroit netminder Jared Coreau, who replaced starter Petr Mrazek midway through the game.

The Blackhawks won the game in overtime on Trevor Daley’s wrist shot at 1:40 into 3-on-3 overtime.

Detroit (1-1) then scored three unanswered goals.

Justin Abdelkader also scored for Detroit.

Tatar gave the Red Wings some breathing room 4:24 into the third, when he batted the puck into the net from the middle of the crease after Richards carried it up the left side and took a shot from the side of the net. His presence was evident throughout the game, and he should be a stronger contributor in Rockford this season.

Forward Daniel Paille and defenseman Jan Hejda, David Rundblad and Viktor Svedberg played in both games against Detroit. Chicago had six tries with the extra attacker while Detroit had four. Coreau made 14 saves on 15 shots. For the Hawks, Michael Leighton turned aside 14 of the 16 shots he faced while veteran Corey Crawford stopped seven shots and allowed a goal. September .
