The Penguins (2-1-2) took the lead back less than a minute into the second with a goal from Bryan Rust, but Mike Green evened it for the Wings with 2:37 remaining in the period.
But the Wings (2-2-2) had no answer for the Pens in the third, as Dominik Simon scored 1:56 into the period and
added an insurance goal with just under four minutes remaining.
