    The first two goals at Detroit's new arena came from young standouts the team is trying to build around.

    When that wasn't enough to shake the Minnesota Wild, grizzled veteran Henrik Zetterberg put the Red Wings back ahead to stay.

    Zetterberg and Martin Frk scored in the third period to lift Detroit to a 4-2 victory over the Wild on Thursday night in the first regular-season game at Little Caesars Arena. Anthony Mantha and Dylan Larkin scored 23 seconds apart in the second period for the Red Wings, who then had to bounce back after blowing that 2-0 lead early in the third.
