The Detroit Red Wings showed some of the moxie that's been missing over the past week, battling back after their opponent chased their goaltender five minutes into the game.
Marc Staal's first career two-goal night boosted the Wings out of a three-goal deficit Tuesday against the Edmonton Oilers at Rogers Place, and former Oiler Sam Gagner also had a two-point outing on a night that turned into a score-fest.
The Oilers pulled away with a 7-5 victory, leaving the Wings winless in six games.
