Bobby Ryan made an excellent statement that he deserves to be on the opening night Red Wings' roster.
In camp on a professional try-out, Ryan tied the game late then scored the clinching goal in the shootout, leading the Wings to a 4-3 shootout victory over Chicago.
The Wings won the shootout 3-2 with Adam Erne, Taro Hirose and Ryan scoring goals.
Ryan, who ended last season because of triceps surgery and went unsigned as a free agent over the summer, tied the game 3-3 at 18:09 of the third period. Erne, with his second assist of the night, found Ryan alone near the post for the tying goal.
