Why it matters
Edmonton lost forward Zach Hyman to an apparent concussion as the Oilers dropped their second straight game.
Michal Postava made 25 saves in regulation and stopped three shootout attempts as the Detroit Red Wings edged the Edmonton Oilers 4-3 on Monday night. Lucas Raymond scored the shootout winner and added two assists for Detroit. The 24-year-old undrafted Czech goaltender, playing his first NHL start in just his second career game, became only the third Red Wings netminder in 25 years to win a first start, joining Petr Mrazek and Jimmy Howard.
Viktor Arvidsson, Emmitt Finnie and Dylan Larkin scored in regulation for Detroit (5-4-3), with Larkin's tying goal coming with 1:17 left and Edmonton's net empty. It marked the third time this season Detroit has tied a game in the final two minutes, the most in the league. Arvidsson's power-play goal was his fourth of the year.
Vasily Podkolzin, Isaac Howard and Colton Dach scored for the Oilers (8-2-2), who have now lost two straight games. Edmonton forward Zach Hyman left the game with what appeared to be a concussion. Connor McDavid extended his season-opening points streak to 12 games with 34 points, matching the longest season-starting assist streak in NHL history.
