DETROIT 鈥� Dylan Larkin and the Detroit Red Wings have their first winning streak in almost a month.

Larkin scored the only goal in the shootout to give Detroit a 3-2 victory over the skidding Ottawa Senators on Friday night.

The Red Wings have won two in a row for the first time since Dec. 12-14. It also was their third win in five games, a feat they hadn鈥檛 accomplished since Nov. 8-16.

Jonathan Bernier stopped Tyler Ennis, Anthony Duclair and Artem Anisimov in the tiebreaker after making 29 saves in regulation and overtime.

鈥淗e鈥檚 kept us in countless games, whether we lose or win,鈥� Detroit teammate Tyler Bertuzzi said about Bernier. 鈥淚 know he鈥檚 going to keep giving us those opportunities to win. If we can score some goals, we鈥檒l keep getting wins.鈥�

Bernier, who began the season as Jimmy Howard鈥檚 backup, has been in goal for all eight Detroit wins since Oct. 29.

鈥淚t feels great,鈥� he said.

Bertuzzi had a goal and an assist, and Larkin also scored in regulation. Red Wings defenceman Filip Hronek had two assists.

Colin White had a goal and an assist and Brady Tkachuk also scored for Ottawa, which lost its season-high sixth straight (0-4-2). Marcus Hogberg stopped 26 shots.

鈥淚 thought we got on the forecheck, we tracked the puck and we were good in the D zone,鈥� Senators coach D.J. Smith said. 鈥淥n the whole, I thought we played well enough to win.鈥�

White鈥檚 power-play goal with 9:18 left in the second period tied it at 2. He tipped in defenceman Mike Reilly鈥檚 shot from the point for his fourth goal.

Larkin鈥檚 power-play goal 5:32 into the middle period gave Detroit a 2-0 lead. He skated through three Ottawa players in the neutral zone and the Senators end and stuffed the puck past Hogberg as Larkin cut across the top of the crease from right to left. It was his 11th goal.

鈥淚 used my speed to go around the defenceman and it kind of just opened up,鈥� Larkin said. 鈥淚 knew I was cutting to the far post and trying to get across there. It was a good play by the other guys to drop it back to me.鈥�

Tkackuk put Ottawa on the board just 22 seconds later when his attempted pass from the side of the net went in off the skate of Red Wings defenceman Patrik Nemeth. It was Tkachuk鈥檚 14th goal.

Bertuzzi gave the Red Wings a 1-0 lead with 5:05 left in the first period when he tipped in Hronek鈥檚 shot-pass. It was Bertuzzi鈥檚 16th goal.

NOTES: Ottawa hired Jim Little as CEO on Friday. Senators owner Eugene Melnyk had been the team鈥檚 CEO. Little will be responsible for business strategy, focusing on marketing and community relations. 鈥� Senators D Ron Hainsey returned after sustaining a lower-body injury on Dec. 19. 鈥� Larkin stretched his point streak to five games (two goals, three assists).
