Lucas Raymond scored the only goal of the shootout as the Detroit Red Wings beat the Edmonton Oilers 4-3 at Rogers Place on Monday night, erasing a two-goal deficit before holding on in the extra frame. Viktor Arvidsson had a goal and an assist for Detroit, while Raymond set up two of the Red Wings’ three regulation goals before delivering the shootout winner.
Detroit trailed 2-1 entering the third period and fell behind again after Isaac Howard and Colton Dach scored 30 seconds apart to make it 3-2 Oilers. Dylan Larkin tied it with 1:17 left in regulation, converting a wrist shot off assists from Raymond and Moritz Seider to force overtime. Colton Dach led Edmonton with a goal and an assist, but the Oilers could not solve Red Wings goaltender Michal Postava when it mattered most.

The third period turned frantic.
