DETROIT — The high-scoring Ducks found themselves on the wrong side of the scoreboard this time, with a familiar foe doing some of the damage.

Alex DeBrincat had two goals and an assist, and the Detroit Red Wings beat the Ducks, 6-3, on Thursday night to end a three-game losing streak.

DeBrincat has 18 goals and 33 points in 20 career games against the Ducks.

Moritz Seider and Dylan Larkin each had a goal and an assist, and Axel Sandin-Pellikka scored his second career goal. Michael Rasmussen also scored after being deactivated for Detroit’s 5-1 loss to Chicago on Sunday. Jonatan Berggren, Patrick Kane and Lucas Raymond added two assists apiece.

Seider and DeBrincat scored on power plays, reviving a Detroit unit that had gone 1 for 20 during its previous five games.

Former Duck John Gibson and Cam Talbot combined for 25 saves. Gibson stopped 15 of the 17 shots he faced before leaving after two periods with an undisclosed injury. Talbot got the win in relief, stopping 10 of 11 shots.

Cutter Gauthier, Chris Kreider and Mikael Granlund scored for the Ducks, and Lukas Dostal made 27 saves. Leo Carlsson had his 11-game points streak snapped. The Ducks, who have scored seven goals in a game four times already this season, have lost two straight following a seven-game winning streak.

The scoreless first period featured seven penalties, four on the Ducks, but the second period saw plenty of scoring as the Red Wings took a 3-2 lead.

Detroit killed off a Ducks power play early in the middle frame. The Red Wings then took advantage of their third man-advantage opportunity to end the scoreless deadlock at 5:57 of the period.

With Mason McTavish in the penalty box for the third time in the game, Seider took a shot from the point that floated through traffic and over Dostal’s left shoulder.

The Ducks tied it less than two minutes later. Beckett Sennecke brought the puck out of his zone and into Detroit territory. As he skated toward the net, a defender tried to take the puck away, and it skittered onto the stick of Gauthier, who scored his team-high 12th goal.

Rasmussen ripped a shot from the left circle that beat Dostal on the short side at 12:42. Kreider tied it once again at 14:54, but Sandin-Pellikka responded with the second goal of his rookie season on a shot from the point that cut through traffic at 15:33.

DeBrincat made it 4-2 just 50 seconds into the third when he tipped in a Seider shot for a power-play goal with Kreider in the penalty box.

Granlund scored on a deflection at 4:33 to get the Ducks back within one, but Larkin answered with a backhander on a 2-on-0 breakaway 33 seconds later.

DeBrincat added an empty-netter with 2:01 remaining.

The teams split their two-game season series, with the Ducks winning, 5-2, on Halloween night at the Honda Center.
