Five takeaways from Blackhawks 5-1 win to Red Wings: New-look top line shines

Here are five takeaways from the Blackhawks' 5-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena on Thursday night:

1. New-look top line shines.

Joel Quenneville broke up the Jonathan Toews and Brandon Saad tandem on Wednesday in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs in favor of Alex DeBrincat, Anthony Duclair and Toews on the top line and the results were solid. They had the best possession numbers among all Blackhawks forwards, but weren't able to capitalize on any of their scoring chances.

Thursday was a different story.
