The Oilers started the night with two quick goals in the first. And while the Wings started to get energized and effective in the second period, they were essentially playing catch up the whole game.

At the end of the third period, Red Wings defenseman Brian Rafalski tied the game in the game’s last second.

The Wings ended up losing the game in the shootout, which has been a problem for the team all year.

And while this is certainly a game the Wings should have walked away from, they are lucky, and happy, to have gotten a point after such a lackluster start.
