Red Wings continue road dominance against the Oilers

The Detroit Red Wings gave the Edmonton Oilers a lesson in composure.
Todd Bertuzzi scored twice, including the game winner, and the Red Wings snapped a mini-slide with a 5-3 victory over the slumping Oilers.
After Edmonton rallied from a 3-1 deficit to tie the game late, Detroit got a break when Bertuzzi’s shot banked in off the skate of defenseman Ladislav Smid with 2:50 left. The Red Wings, who had dropped two straight, sealed the win 44 seconds later on Darren Helm’s goal.
Henrik Zetterberg and Kris Draper also scored for Detroit, which moved into a tie atop the NHL standings with Vancouver.
The Red Wings took a 1-0 lead 3:43 in when Zetterberg’s point shot found its way in through a sea of bodies in front of goalie Nikolai Khabibulin for his 15th goal of the season.
Edmonton tied it at 11:38 when Brule converted Liam Reddox’s drop pass by lifting a backhander over the glove of Osgood.
Detroit regained the lead 6:40 into the second when Bertuzzi took a loose puck behind the net and hooked a backhander past Khabibulin.
The Red Wings made it 3-1 at 10:43 of the second when Helm sent Draper in on a partial breakaway. Draper beat Khabibulin with a great deke for his third goal.
Edmonton closed within 3-2 at 4:54 of the third when Gagner found a pinching Peckham from behind the net, and tied it with 8:29 remaining as Gagner battled to control the puck off a faceoff and fired a shot between Osgood’s legs.
