Playing his second game this season after missing much of it with injuries, Weiss had a pair of rebound goals late in the second to lift Detroit to its third victory in four games.

Craig Anderson stopped 39 shots in Ottawa's second consecutive loss.
Mike Howard made it a one-goal game with 35 seconds left, but the Senators never got another scoring chance.

Erik Karlsson scored early in the third past a well-screened Jimmy Howard.
