This was a different Red Wings team Friday in Pittsburgh.
After a poor defensive game Wednesday against Chicago, the Wings shut down a powerful Penguins team, and defeated the Penguins 3-2 in a shootout.
The Wings won the shootout 1-0, with Lucas Raymond scoring the lone goal.
Goals from unexpected sources, Givani Smith and Filip Zadina (power play), sparked the Wings, who also received a fine goaltending effort from Calvin Pickard who stopped 36 shots in his first start since May 8, 2011.
With Alex Nedeljkovic getting a night off, Pickard was never rattled throughout the evening.
