The Detroit Red Wings have themselves their 4th consecutive victory, beating the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 via the shootout last night at Rogers Place in downtown Edmonton.
For the 2nd consecutive game, the Red Wings overcame a 1st period 2-0 deficit, rallied, and seized the win. Michael Rasmussen deflected Jonatan Berggren's shot past goaltender Stuart Skinner in the 2nd period, followed by a breakaway goal from captain Dylan Larkin.
Lucas Raymond and Larkin scored in the shootout for the Red Wings, who also got 45 saves from goaltender Alex Lyon. They're now 12-4 under new coach Todd McLellan, who took over from the fired Derek Lalonde on December 26.
