Alex Lyon’s 45-save performance to help the Detroit Red Wings post a come-from-behind 3-2 shootout win against the Edmonton Oilers is a reminder of how much goaltending has bolstered the team this season.

Captain Dylan Larkin powers Detroit to a come-from-behind 3–2 shootout win in Edmonton to start the Red Wings' road swing in style

Alex Lyon feels like he belongs, except he also still feels like he did a decade ago. He came blazing off the ice Saturday morning at Amalie Arena, laughing when Christian Fischer yelled out, 'here comes an angry man.

A huge key was the Wings' power play, which had so lethal in recent games (power play goals in 10 of their last 11 games). The Wings did score once, with Lucas Raymond scoring his 19th goal, but the Wings couldn't match the two or three power-play goals they had scored six of the last 11 games.

The Detroit Red Wings needed a kick in the pants and Todd McLellan administered it Thursday after a lackluster first period in Edmonton. The Red Wings were a much different team the rest of the way, erasing an early two-goal deficit and beating the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 in a shootout.

The Red Wings started the first game of their four game road trip in Edmonton, facing a returning Stuart Skinner and Connor McDavid in his second game back from suspension.

Dylan Larkin tied it in the second period and scored in a shootout to help the Detroit Red Wings beat the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 on Thursday night.

Alex Lyon feels like he belongs ... Not real anger, of course; Lyon just objected to how some of his Detroit Red Wings had used him as target practice, launching pucks at him in bunches.

The Edmonton Oilers saw their three-game winning streak come to an end on Thursday (Jan. 30), losing 3-2 to the Detroit Red Wings in a game decided by a shootout at Rogers Place.

Lyon stopped 45 of 47 shots in Thursday's 3-2 shootout win over the Oilers. Lyon had one of his best performances of the season, with the shutout win over the Islanders on Oct. 22 being the only start in which he posted a better save percentage.

Thursday was one of those days when the Oilers didn't have their best stuff, could have won but didn't and at least came away with a point.
