Lucas Raymond contributed with another key goal during the shootout, while the Oilers' Connor McDavid and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins faltered against Red Wings goalie Alex Lyon, who was spectacular with 45 saves throughout regulation and overtime.

Edmonton initially surged ahead with a two-goal lead in the first period, featuring goals from Leon Draisaitl, who netted his 36th of the season, and Jeff Skinner. However, the Red Wings fought back, with Michael Rasmussen and Larkin finding the net in the second, showcasing the resolve of Detroit following Todd McLellan's coaching tenure, which has seen them improve to 12-4-1.
