Detroit Red Wings improve to 2-0 with a 5-2 win at Devils, but lose Tyler Bertuzzi (hand)

The Detroit Red Wings showed for a second straight night that they are an improved team, building momentum off another fine outing by one of their goaltenders and contributions from newcomers.

They had to make do without Tyler Bertuzzi for most of Saturday's game against the New Jersey Devils at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, but the guy who took Bertuzzi's spot on the top line, Jakub Vrana, was among the scorers in the 5-2 victory.

Dylan Larkin doubled the Wings' lead with 0.8 seconds left in the second period. Newcomer Andrew Copp forced a turnover behind the goal line to set up Larkin's first goal and third point of the season.
