CHICAGO — Valtteri Filppula’s second goal of the game snapped a third-period tie, and the Detroit Red Wings spoiled the Blackhawks’ Stanley Cup banner-raising celebration with a 3-2 victory over Chicago on Saturday night.
Filppula exploited two breakdowns and scored on the power play at 7:01 of the third, putting Detroit ahead 3-2. Todd Bertuzzi had a goal and assist for the Red Wings.
Brent Seabrook and Bryan Bickell scored for the defending champion Blackhawks in their home opener.
On the winning goal, Chicago defenseman John Scott fell as Filppula accelerated toward him at the blue line. Filppula cut to the net and slid a shot under Blackhawks goalie Marty Turco, who might have been screened when defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson dived in front of him.
The Blackhawks commemorated their 2010 Stanley Cup championship — their first since 1961 and fourth in team history — with a 30-minute, pregame banner-raising ceremony.
Detroit’s Chris Osgood stopped 26 shots in his first start this season. Turco made his second straight start and had 23 saves.
Chicago forward Patrick Sharp missed the game because of an injury suffered Thursday in the Blackhawks’ season-opening overtime loss at Colorado.
Sharp was in uniform and skated with his teammates in the banner-raising ceremony. In a pregame radio broadcast, coach Joel Quenneville said Sharp’s condition wasn’t serious.
