NHL Highlights | Red Wings vs. Ducks | October 31, 2025

And it’s top line versus top line to begin the 
game. Larkin and Carlson take the draw. We’re underway on a Friday night at Honda Center. 
Ducks one and one in this building so far this season. Raymond makes a move. Spins back 
with it. 35 seconds on the power play. Right into the slot and again it’s Lurin and it’s 
Dostall who hangs on and boy he was wide open right between the hash marks. Good puck movement. 
Gets it into his wheelhouse. Does he want to talk duck killer? He may as well be Elmer Fud with an 
elephant gun. 15 goals in 18 games against the Ducks in his career. Here’s a chance for Terry. 
He busts out short-handed and he’s in. Score. Gibson sticks side and the Ducks have short-handed 
goals and backto back game. Oh, this is a quick move. Real quick move by Troy Terry. Boy, he just 
put it into overdrive, didn’t he? Quick move to the forehand and a little chip. Kind of an off 
speeder. Gets the goalender moving and he just chips it up into the top of the net and under the 
bar. That’s a great finish by Troy Terry. And boy, what a season start for Terry. His 11th point. 
It back to Lome who now spreads the ice. Gets it back from Carlson. Lome ever patient on the 
power play. He’ll one time it gets made. The save and the rebound shuttled wide by Krider. 
wins the puck. Nice job by Jackson there and Kangelo moves it ahead joined by Vrono. Pulls 
up on the half wall, loses the puck to Brinket with a quick outlet for Larkin. Got a man ahead on 
the right side. It’s Raymond. He’s in. He scores. So good puck movement and a good quick 
counter by Detroit. And who else? It through the five hole. There’s Brinka with the 
first pass. This top line of the Red Wings. Boy, have they been sharp this year. Larkin to Raymond 
and he just rips it right through the five hole. There’s not much there. Man oh man, did he 
pick a spot. Third of the year for Raymond who now has points in three straight games last 
season due to a myriad of injuries which included an apendecttomy early in the season. He had 
illness issues. He had a hand problem. was limited to just 29 games and he’s beaten here 
by Leo Carlson. What a pass. And this is this is speed. This is a just a race up the ice off of 
a turnover. And Troy Terry makes this happen and turns on a dime. The Ducks have numbers on the 
rush. Carlson gets that stick blade available and it’s a quick release. But look at Troy Terry 
head up all the way. Puts it through the triangle. Casper can’t catch Carlson and he elevates that 
puck just enough. Fangelo swipes it away but it’s recovered by Cider. Circles the zone. His backhand 
pass deflects to the doorstep and a save made by Doal. A little peak over the shoulder. Was not 
certain that he had it. And there was that loose puck comes to Minty as he retreats defensively. 
Senica nudges it ahead. Coachce finds McTavish. Oh, in the slot. It’s Trouba. Had to take it off 
his skate and then the shot handled by Gibson. Just that split to get it to his blade. 
Yeah. And Gibson took a little peek here, John. Good play by Troua to control that puck 
and get the shot through. But see, John Gibson, native of suburban Detroit to Brinket 
brings it into the middle. Big save by Dostall and a lively rebound. Finny 
didn’t get a lot on it over top of the crossbar. De Brink had an opportunity and 
Jackson Mcome comes up with a key block. Red Wings counter back. De Brink. Nice 
pass across. Casper turned away. Fat rebound deposited into a yawning net. Meaning 
he doesn’t touch it with his stick. Well, Brian, I the only reason that you would review this 
is if you felt that it was a kicking motion to kick it up to the stick. Otherwise, it it 
doesn’t matter, right? After reviewing the play, it was determined that the puck was kicked 
in. Therefore, the ice return. I’ll be honest, I’m surprised. Well, there’s never any doubt 
when Les McCauley is the one on the microphone. Bucks with a couple of nice short passes that’ll 
open up and get it out of the zone. Little touch through center by Prider. Speed for Goce. Save 
from Gibson. Good stop by John Gibson. Senica on the cycle. Knocked off his stick on the back 
hand out high in the zone and he more to the rescue. Senica knocked down. Shock may have 
gotten away with one there. Goche the other way defended by Baragren. Centers comes all the 
way through. Zelwiger will take it off the wall. McTavish. Good movement. It opens up. 
Score. The seas parted for Mason McTavish. John Detroit plays a man on man in the Done. 
In the same area they collide with one another. This is what happens. Little pass from Zelwiger 
here. And you see all the traffic. There’s the collision that creates space for Mason McTavish. 
And boy, he just fires that through a screen. John Gibson didn’t think that puck would be able to get 
through all those bodies, so he was guessing that McTavish would go short side. He threw it back 
far side and returns the favor. Loose puck down low. Travis Hamick puts it high on the glass and 
Lom off his skate. Pops it into the middle. Look out. Cookout. Short-handed breakaway. Larkin 
goes backhand penalty coming up to the Ducks. penalty shot. Well, it’s it’s Crider. It’s a 
bouncing puck here that hits Lome in the foot, bounces into the middle. He’s flatfooted and away 
goes Dylan Larkin. And there’s the chop by Krider down below. Yeah. 6’8. 252. So Bloom goes down. So 
the Red Wings go on the power play for the third time tonight. Right on the doorstep to Brick 
and Scores. He just turned and stuffed it in. He has goals in four straight games. It’s three 
to two. been a duck killer and he’s a scorer. Faceoff win and and it’s been that’s a story 
in this game. Red Wings have been dominant in the faceoff circle. The home can’t get 
over in time to pressure to bring it. And it’s a quick push move to the forehand and a 
little chip just gets it past that left toe. You got to like his willingness to get involved 
physically, but unfortunately it puts the Ducks short-handed here and the Red Wings with another 
faceoff win. Cider moves it very quickly into the slot right there. What a save by Doall as 
it came right to EMTT Finny. Another save by Doall again. He turns away Lucas Raymond this 
time, but puck recoveries for the Red Wings. Quick puck movement and quick sticks down. Do 
stall cuts one off and moves it ahead. Goce goes rink wide taking it off the boards bringing 
it into the middle and getting a little backhander away as Terry kicked out by Gibson in the air. 
Goce chops it loose and Anaheim gets it back. Good job by Cutter there. He pops out now as 
they umbrella the power play. Takes it to the top of the right circle. Ever patient Jackson 
Lome Carlson to coach a one-time Gibson great save and the rebound went in the net as Gibson 
knocked it off. I I think it’s this is going to be interesting, John. They’re going to take 
a look at this. It’s Gibson that knocks it off and would have been a good goal. Well, would 
it have been below the level of the crossbar at the net been at net height at the goal line? 
Difficult to tell. And and again, it has to be I I think definitive to take the goal away from 
what has been called on the ice. And that is the key word cert was a goal was awarded on the ice. 
I suppose the other thing that could come of this could be a delay of game penalty on Gibson, 
which would give Anaheim a twoman advantage for better than a minute and a half. You know, 
I’m I’m not sure that Gibson knocking the net off its moorings was intentional, but here’s 
the call from the referee. Yeah, Cory Civer once more. After reviewing the play, the call on 
the ice is confirmed. We’ve got a good goal. So, Crider on the power play. Sodom goes wide on 
the left side, angled off by the Bucks. Smaller Hellison. Puck recovered behind the net by the Red 
Wings in front. Point blank. Save made on Soder Bloom. Larkin winds it up, gets center red up on 
the glass and in. Do stall will stay put around. It comes into the middle of the ice and a pass to 
Terry from Goce who bounce it into the empty net. Terry and Carlson right into the middle of the ice and 
Leo Carlson perfectly positioned. So, it’s a fourth and it’s out center ice. 
And the Ducks defeat the Detroit Red Wings tonight 5-2. Their first win over Detroit 
by three goals or more in a game in 12 years.

  1. NHL changes the “kicking motion” rule to allow deflections as OK then waives off Seiders goal with no kicking follow through is ridiculous. League made the call overruling the refs because they don’t know what they are doing
