  "account": "Detroit Red Wings secured a 5-3 victory over the Ottawa Senators, marking the team's first win of the season. Dylan Larkin, returning to the lineup after requesting a trade, scored the game-winning goal in the 13th minute. The crowd initially booed Larkin upon his first shift, but their cheers quickly turned to applause as he netted the first goal for Detroit. Alex DeBrincat contributed twice, scoring in the opening period and adding an empty-net goal late in the third. Justin Faulk and Viktor Arvidsson also found the back of the net for Detroit. John Gibson made 22 saves on the night, while the Senators' Samuel Ersson stopped 31 shots. DeBrincat opened the scoring in the first period with a wrist shot, assisted by Nate Danielson and Carter Mazur. He added another goal via a power-play empty-netter with 50 seconds left in the third period. DeBrincat also provided an assist. Ottawa's Samuel Ersson started in goal, replacing injured No. 1 goaltender Linus Ullmark for the third period due to Ullmark's absence. Ersson, who entered in relief of Ullmark, allowed 2 goals on 31 shots. The Senators had won their first two games before this loss.",
