Captain Dylan Larkin powers Detroit to a come-from-behind 3–2 shootout win in Edmonton to start the Red Wings' road swing in style
The Edmonton Oilers saw their three-game winning streak come to an end on Thursday (Jan. 30), losing 3-2 to the Detroit Red Wings in a game decided by a shootout at Rogers Place.
Thursday was one of those days when the Oilers didn't have their best stuff, could have won but didn't and at least came away with a point.
Dylan Larkin tied it in the second period and scored in a shootout to help the Detroit Red Wings beat the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 on Thursday night.
The Red Wings improved to 12-4-1 under McLellan. The Oilers (32-15-4) had won three in a row and were 11-3-0 in their previous 14. They had won three in a row against the Red Wings and were 5-0-1 in past six meetings between the teams.
Finishing with a season-high 45 saves, goalie Alex Lyon helped the Red Wings (25-21-5; 55 points) earn their second straight multi-goal comeback win and third of the season. As for the Oilers (32-15-4; 68 points), they saw netminder Stuart Skinner make 33 saves.
Lucas Raymond and Dylan Larkin scored in a shootout to complete a comeback from a two-goal deficit and give the Detroit Red Wings a 3-2 win over the host Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night.
The Red Wings (25-21-5, 55 points) have won four in a row and are 12-4-1 under McLellan. They are only two points out of the wild card spots that Tampa Bay and Columbus currently occupy. They visit Calgary Saturday in the second stop of their four-game trip (10 p.m., FanDuel Sports Network).
Alex Lyon’s 45-save performance to help the Detroit Red Wings post a come-from-behind 3-2 shootout win against the Edmonton Oilers is a reminder of how much goaltending has bolstered the team this season.
