Duclair gave the Senators a 1-0 lead 3:08 into the game with his first goal of the night.
Fabbri tied it at 9:57 of the first when his shot from the right circle trickled through Nilsson and was accidentally kicked in by Ottawa’s Logan Brown. It was Fabbri’s fourth goal. Filppula’s short-handed goal with 1:28 remaining in the opening period gave the Red Wings a 2-1 lead. It was his third.
Hronek appeared to tie it 34 seconds after Duclair’s goal, but the Senators challenged the play was offside. Replays showed that Tyler Bertuzzi was offside along the right boards.
