The Red Wings welcomed the 9-1 Edmonton Oilers to Detroit for a Tuesday night tilt. Edmonton accepted the invitation with a goalie making his second career NHL start. It’s the league’s highest-scoring rookies versus the league’s highest-scoring.... older guys.

First Period

Blashill starts the game matching Larkin’s line against McDavid and Draisaitl with Sam Gagner taking Lucas Raymond’s spot temporarily as a celebration of his 900th NHL game.

The Wings come out with the first three shifts putting pressure on Skinner in the crease. The best of the chances going to Adam Erne and Givani Smith trying to jam a puck past a netfront scrum to no avail.
