FRANTIC finish gets Rookie goalie 1st win vs. Oilers

Breaks the 2-2 tie. Red Wings have Postava on the bench for a sixth skater. Arvidsson, back for Brinkett. Back to Arvidsson. Looks for Raymond. He finds Sider. Took the shot. Saved by Jarvi. Brinkett. Around for Lucas Raymond again. Back for Larkin. Brinkett to the net. Finney, far side. Arvidsson gets knocked down in front. Raymond feeds off and gets it back. Into Brinkett this side. Sider up top. Down low to Brinkett. And he just panned on the heel of his stick. Finney. Finney with it again, scored his first two against the Oilers. Brinkett a shot. That gets blocked. Finney's got another one here tonight. Larkin gets boxed out. Raymond in there. Not allowing the Oilers to clear. Raymond again. Raymond to the net. Off the post. It stayed out. Larkin back for Raymond. Brink wide feed. Finney didn't handle it cleanly. That close, but the iron to this game being tied up again. Arvidsson couldn't handle it cleanly. Red Wings with all the pressure, Arvidsson down, Finney takes the stab, Finney gets it back for Sider, Sider looks back that way again, Finney with it, takes the shot, blocked, Arvidsson, back for Finney, all Detroit here, here it comes to Raymond, 1:35 to go, to Brinkett, to the middle, off for Raymond, plays back for Finney again, now for to Brinkett, this side, Sider, Sider to the middle, from 45 feet, back to Raymond, pass to the middle for Larkin, scores! Yes! This game's all tied with 117 to play. It's 3-3. Remarkable. Man advantage. Gustavsson pulled. Six attackers for Detroit. Five defenders for Edmonton. And it is all in the Edmonton Oilers zone. A busy, busy attack by the Red Wings. Finney rolls it up high. Pass comes across. What's Sider? Comes across his body to find Raymond, and then Raymond into the interior right here. It actually gets, it hits an oiler stick, I think Murphy, but it drops right onto the stick of Larkin. Larkin bangs it home. Has come on for Detroit. McDavid and Dreisaitl out there. Finney to the net, and that's kicked aside. Jari Bouchard looks for Dreisaitl. He's got him. Dreisaitl with Finney. Challenge him, now Bouchard will step in with McDavid. Bouchard, the drop pass, McDavid, the spin. Waden, Dishon, Dries, traffic, publisher back, shoots it, and it's just a jar. It's ending overtime, Edmonton with a minute to go. Edmonton had possession earlier this overtime, then Detroit didn't want to give it up. Dries will have McDavid streaking, just rolled off the end of the stick. He tries to punch through here and give Justin Falk a lot of credit. He gets the jump on everybody. And tries to go up over top of the blocker for Jari Wayo to cut down the angle. He knows Bouchard's going to get to him eventually, so he can be really aggressive on that shot and put it up over top of the glass. It took a while, partner, but this turned out to be a pretty good hockey game. Third period for sure, back and forth. Final minute, overtime. Larkin against Michaels, won the faceoff clearly. Nugent-Hopkinson chained for Edmonton, Arvidsson, and Sherrod for Detroit, it's Arvidsson on his backhand, protects, he's going to take it out of the zone, Arvidsson and Larkin both with goals tonight for Detroit, Larkin tied it late, now he's looking to win it, Larkin challenged him, dragged it out live, pressure. Here we go. And now McDavid, the double team, and Larkin gives up possession. Now, McDavid's with Nugent Hopkins against Sherrod and Raymond. Criss-cross, McDavid looks outside, Bouchard steps on, through one man, swung to the corner by Larkin, who looks a bit gassed. Here's McDavid, through to the net, post check, post on the rebound! What a save on Bouchard, another chance on the drive, slid through McDavid, Bouchard, drive move, dishes, oh, a poke check at the horn, Trump dissection, Goodson might have saved the game. Pustava with the goods, we're going to settle this one in a shootout. So Connor McDavid on Michael Pustava in his first NHL start, he stops him, stops Connor McDavid, what a debut, Michael Pustava. McDavid, of course, it's the hand skills and a great sense of how to tease a goaltender into making a move he doesn't want to make. Here comes Raymond, on Jari, score! Lucas Raymond, Red Wings lead in the shootout, 1-0. Stone Cold Killer down the left, sorry, left wing side, cuts in by the face-off dot. And then righty goes far right side, above the pad, posted in. In the Red Wings' shootout victory, 1-2 in shootouts, Raymond has the game-deciding goal. He's 12th for 26 all-time now in shootouts. Remarkable numbers. Here's Dreisaitl on Quistava again. The leg is out. So he stopped both McDavid and Dreisaitl, both on deeps. Dreisaitl shows backhand, goes forehand, tries to come back backhand, and Postava, it's the footwork, the padwork, darts out the left one to keep it out in the back of the net. If Alex Dabrinkit scores here, the Red Wings win, and what a win it would be. Not many gave Detroit a chance here tonight. Dabrinkit to end it on Jari for victory. So now it's up to Michael Postava. To break it. Stick handling, cradling to the forehand, tries backhand over the pad, but just can't elevate. Solid save, Tristan Jari. So, R&H, Ryan Nugent Hopkins on Michael Postava. A save, and the Red Wings win. He does it! Michael Postava, in his first National Hockey League start, gets the victory, and the Red Wings pick up the puck for the check that binder. What a win by Detroit. Huge victory to go home, 2-1 and 1 on this trip. Hey fellas, how do you like me so far? Wow, and I mean, gauntlets the boy faces. What do you think? McDavid, Dreisaitl, Nugent Hopkins turns them all back. He idolized Dominic Hossa growing up, and why wouldn't he? And he said Yuri Fisher was such a huge influence on him signing in Detroit. So many teams wanted Michael Postava, as did the Edmonton Oilers.
