Oilers Fall to Red Wings in Shootout

The Edmonton Oilers suffered two close losses, one against the Toronto Maple Leafs and another in a shootout against the Detroit Red Wings. In the game against Toronto, a potential tying goal by the Oilers was disallowed due to an offside call, leading to a 4-3 defeat.

The game ended in a shootout where Lucas Raymond and Larkin scored for Detroit, while Connor McDavid and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins failed to capitalize on their chances, resulting in a 3-2 loss for the Oilers. Red Wings' goalie Alex Lyon made 45 saves, contributing significantly to their victory and marking Detroit's fourth consecutive win under coach Todd McLellan.
