commentary...

the Oilers got beat by their own player putting an own goal into their own net,late in the third period... the power play goal was credited to Pavel Datsyuk... an empty net goal put the game on ice,for the Red Wings... the game was a good game,but being out-shot 41-23,and smothered by the Red Wings,doomed the Oilers after the first period... the Red Wings are 14-0-2,in last sixteen games,and Jimmy Howard is 11-1-2,in fourteen career games,against the Oilers...
