NO PRESSURE. FIRST OF TWO MEETINGS AND LAST MEETING EVER HERE AT REXALL PLACE AS THE OILERS NEXT SEASON MOVE INTO NEW DOWNTOWN DIGS A SEASON AHEAD OF THE RED WINGS MOVING INTO THEIRS. HELLO AGAIN, EVERYONE. KEN DANIELS ALONGSIDE CHRIS OZ GOOD AS WE WELCOME YOU TO

EDMONTON A PLACE WHERE YOU NOTCH YOUR FINAL REGULAR SEASON WIN IN YOUR FINAL REGULAR SEASON START. I KNOW YOU LIKE COMING HERE. GLAD TO HAVE YOU HERE. WHAT DO YOU THINK FROM YOUR VANTAGE POINT. >> Chris: I LOVE COMING HERE. I LOVE THE QUALITY STARTS THE

RED WINGS HAVE BEEN GETTING FROM BOTH THEIR GOAL TENORS THIS SEASON. I LOVE THE WAY ZETTERBERG HAS STARTED THE SEASON. ABDEL CAIT INDICATEDER, TOO. AND YOUNG LARKIN, THIS KID FOR ME IS A GOOD CHALLENGE FOR ROOKIE OF THE YEAR. AND KINDLE NEEDS TO GET THE PUCK

MORE AND GENERATE MORE OFFENSE. THEY FELL OFF THE LAST FEW GAMES. I LOOK FOR THEM TO GET BACK ON TRACK. >> Ken: WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT SHOTS TONIGHT, SHOTS AGAINST, SHOTS FOR. RED WINGS HAVE TO DO MORE OF THAT. YOU MENTIONED THE TOP LINE, THAT STAYS TOGETHER.

BUT IN SEARCH FOR OFFENSE, THE REST HAVE BEEN CHANGED. >> Chris: THEY HAVE THE GOTTEN UP IN. NYQUIST WITH TWO GOALS, PULKKINEN WITH FOUR GAILS GOALS. AND NYQUIST AND SHEAHAN HAS BEEN PUT TOGETHER. RICHARDS DOWN THE THIRD LINE WITH PULKKINEN, HE HAS BEEN HOT

WITH THREE GOALS. >> Ken: TATAR SLOW OUT OF THE GATE. TRYING TO FINE THE ANSWERS. FIRST HE MUST ANSWER THE QUESTIONS FROM JOHN KEATING. >> HOW MUCH DO YOU NEED TO BE REUNITED WITH YOUR GUYS. >> I THINK ALL THE LINES THAT WE

INFLUENCE ARE GOING TO HELP THE TEAM AND PRODUCE MORE. >> HOW IS YOUR CONFIDENCE RIGHT NOW? >> NOT THE BEST. I’M NOT REALLY WORRIED ABOUT IT. THE START SEASON. THERE ARE SO MANY GAMES LEFT. FOCUS GAME BY GAME. AND TRY TO DID THE BEST THAT I CAN.

>> I GUESS YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT YOU STARTED SLOWLY LAST SEASON AND ENDED UP LEADING THE SEASON IN GOALS SCORING. THAT HAS TO BE ROLLING AROUND IN YOUR HEAD, DOESN’T IT? >> IT DOES. IT’S CALMING ME DOWN. I HAVE GOT DO SOMETHING TO HAVE

A BETTER START TO THE SEASON. BUT LIKE I SAID THERE ARE MANY GAMES. THAT’S HOW I THINK ABOUT IT. >> WHAT’S THE POINT TONIGHT SPENDING MORE TIME IN THE OPPOSING TEAM ZONE. >> WE IMMEDIATE MORE SHOTS AND TO SCORE GOALS. >> TOMAS TATAR WILL HAVE HIS

JERSEY ON. GAME TIME OMG UP. >> McDAVID WEARS JERSEY NUMBER 97, FOR HIS BIRTH YEAR. THE EDMONTON OILERS HOPE IT IS A REBIRTH. THEY ALSO HOPE IT IS THEIR LAST FIRST OVERALL PICK. THEY HAVE HAD TOO MANY OF THOSE. THEIR ONLY SUCCESS SEEMS TO BE DRIVEN.

WE SHOULD BE SO WILL BEY. THIS PLAYER PROFILE IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY EA SPORTS. WINNING THE LOTTERY? OILERS DID THAT GETTING McDAVID, YOUNG GENERATIONAL PLAYER, UNBELIEVABLE TAL EDGE. HE NEEDS TO LEARN HOW TO PLAY, LEARN TO MAKE HIMSELF AVAILABLE FOR PASSES AND LEARN TO PLAY

WITHOUT THE PUCK AT THE NHL LEVEL. THIS KID IS A GREAT TALENT, ONE OF THE BEST TO COME TO THE OILERS IN A LONGTIME, IN THE NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE AS WELL. BUT IT’S HARD TO PLAY AT AN NHL LEVEL. HE IS STILL LEARNING. HE IS ONLY 18.

>> THE TEAM HE LEFT, THE OHL THEY ARE OFF TO A 9-0 START. McDAVID, WHAT? THEY HAVE GOOD PLAYERS. THE OILERS HAVE WON THEIR LAST TWO GAMES. THE RED WINGS HAVE LOST THEIR LAST TWO. HOWEVER, IN THIS BUILDING IT HAS BEEN RED WINGS DOMINATION WITH

AT LEAST A POINT IN EACH OF THE PAST 14 VISITS HERE. NINE WIN. IT’S THE >> RED WINGS HOCKEY ON FOX SPORTS DETROIT IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY RAM TRUCKS. COME IN AND GET A GREAT DEAL ON THE BEST TRUCKS DURING RAM TRUCK MONTH. MYERS.

SAME BIG WITH M FORTS AT MYER. SIGN UP. AND BY COMCAST BUSINESS. BUILT FOR BUSINESS. >> WELCOME INSIDE THE STUDIO. TREVOR THOMPSON ALINING SIDE DARREN ELIOT. THE RED WINGS AND THE OILERS, THE FIRST OF THREE AS THE RED WINGS HIT THE ROAD.

NOW HERE IS A LOCK AT OUR UPCOMING SCHEDULE. THREE GAME ROAD TRIP CONTINUES FRIDAY NIGHT IN CALGARY. THE RINGS HAVE HAD A BACK TO BACK EVERY WEEKEND TO START THE SEASON. IT END UP SATURDAY AT THE ROGERS CENTRE IN VANCOUVER. AS YOU POINTED OUT EARLIER, THE

ROGERS, THEY OWN CANADA. ROGERS CENTRE IN VANCOUVER IS THE SITE OF THAT ONE ON FRIDAY. AND TUESDAY NIGHT, THE HURRICANE AT JOE LOUIS ARENA. IRN DARK ALL THE TALK IN EDMONTON IS AROUND THEIR TOP PICK, CONNOR McDAVID. I SPOKE WITH THE HALL OF FAMER EEGOR LIRIAN EARLIER TODAY.

HE HAS A TOP PICK IN NAIL YAKUPOV WHOSE NUMBERS HAVE GONE UP SINCE THEY HAVE GOTTEN A NEW HEAD COACH. HE SAYS HE DOESN’T HAVE TO OTHER ABOUT TRADE DISTRACTIONS AND HAS A PLAYER WHO CAN HELP HIM SUCCEED ALONGSIDE HIM. >> THAT’S THE KEY, PUTTING

POSITIONS ALONGSIDE OTHERS WHO CAN SUCCEED. >> YAKUPOV HAS BEEN IN THE LEAGUE SINCE HE WAS 1: HE’S THE KIND OF GUY, A TRUE POWER FOURD WINGER. HE NEEDS SOMEONE TO GET HIM THE PUCK IN SPACE. THE THING IS,OLOGICAL McDAVID SHOWED UP, THERE WAS NOBODY

DOING WITH THAT REGULARITY. YAKUPOV CAME INTO THE LEAGUE AS AN 18-YEAR-OLD IN 2012. HE IS JUST NOW TURNING 20 AND 21. CRAZY. HE CAN SEE HOW MANY FIRST OVERALL PICKS THEY HAVE. THAT’S GOOD. THEY HAVE TALENT. NOW THEY HAVE A PLAN IN PLACE, A

COACH THAT CAN BRING A PLAN IN PLACE TO TEACH THE GAME. AGAIN, THESE KIDS HAVE EXPERIENCE. IT WON’T BE AS LONG A TURNAROUND AS PEOPLE MIGHT THINK. THEY HAVE GOTTEN USED TO LOSING THERE. YOU HAVE GOT TO CHANGE YOUR WAY FROM THAT STANDPOINT. TODD McLELLAN WILL CHANGE THAT

CULTURE. >> HOW MUCH OF AN ADVANTAGE DOES THAT GIVE TODD COMING IN BECAUSE THESE KIDS ALREADY HAVE SOME EXPERIENCE? >> THAT’S TRUE. THAT’S A GOOD WAY OF LOOKING AT IT. BUT THE OTHER SIDE IS ALL THE BAD HABITS THAT LOSING BRINGS. WHEN YOU ARE A YOUNG PLAYER IN

THE NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE YOU ARE JUST TRYING TO SURVIVE. YOU THINK THIS IS WHAT IT’S LIKE. YOU ALWAYS HAD SUCCESS AS A JUNIOR PLAYER. NOW YOU ARE NOT HAVING SUCCESS. NOW YOU THINK THAT’S WHAT THE NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE IS ALL ABOUT. YES, YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE, BUT

BAD HABITS, A BIT OF AN ADVANTAGE, AND A DISADVANTAGE AS WELL. >> IF THE RED WINGS PLAYERS SCORE A HOT TRICK, BRING A COPY OF THE GAME SUMMARY TO ARBY’S TOMORROW TOER A FREE ORDER EVER CURLY FRIES. >>> THE OILERS WILL ALSO HAVE A

NEW FACE ON THEIR TOP LINE ALONG SITE HOPKINS AND HALL. ANDREW MILLER IS HIS NAME. JOHN KEATING CAUGHT UP WITH HIM EARLIER TODAY. >> I GREW UP WATCHING THEM. AND WATCHING A LOT OF THEIR PLAYERS GO THROUGH THE SYSTEM. THEY HAVE GOT PHENOMENAL PLAYERS. PLAYING AGAINST THE HOMETOWN

TEAM IS ALWAYS GREAT. A LOT OF FANS THERE WHO ARE STILL FANS. I’D LIKE TO — IT IS A FUN THERE, THEY GET INVOLVED, TOO. >> WHEN YOU GET CALLED UP IS ONE OF YOUR FIRST MOVES TO CHECK THE SCHEDULE TO SEE WHO YOU ARE

GOING TO BE PLAYING AGAINST IN YOUR FIRST GAME BACK? >> YEAH. I MEAN TIMES YOU DON’T KNOW IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE IN THE LINE UP OR NOT. BUT MY COACH IN THE NHL JERRY FLEMING TOLD ME IT’S DETROIT,

AND GET ON A FLIGHT AND GET TO PRACTICE. OBVIOUSLY IT’S FUN TO PLAY MY HOME TOWN TEAM. >> HOW MUCH TIME IS THAT, NO TIME TO THINK OR GET NERVOUS OR ANYTHING. JUST GO. >> CONGRATULATIONS, CHASM YOUR FLIGHT AND DON’T BE LATE FOR PRACTICE.

TOMP KINS AND HALL? >> HIGH DRAFT PICKS. THE OTHER DRAFT PICK. ANDREW MILLER. LOCAL BOY. WON A TILE WITH YALE AS THE CAPTAIN. HE HAS TAKEN THE LONG ROAD. HE’S 27 YEARS OLD AND HAS NINE GAMES OF NHL EXPERIENCE. HE HAS GONE EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.

21 YOERLD FRESHMAN AT YALE. HE TOOK THE LONG PAT TO THE NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE. EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT HAPPENED TYPICALLY IN EDMONTON. BUT HE LED THE AHL IN SCORING L.A. YEAR. >> THEY MUST LIKE HIS GAME BECAUSE YOU DOPE PUT HIM WITH

TWO PLAYERS FIRST NIGHT OUT UNLESS YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO PLAY WITH THOSE GUYS. >> WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT ALL NIGHT. YOU PUT PLAYERS IN A POSITION WHERE THEY ARE SUCCESSFUL. YOU DON’T CALL THEM UP AND PUT THEM ON THE FOURTH LINE.

YOU BRING UP AN OFFENSIVE PLAYER PUT HIM IN AN OFFENSIVE SITUATION. HE GOES RIGHT TO THE TOP LINE OF THAT’S WHAT IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE. IF YOU KEANE BRAET CREATE IN YOUR GAME, WHICH IS AN OFFENSIVE GAME, THEN YOU AREN’T AN AHL PLAYER, HE HAS A CHANCE TO PROVE

HE IS AN NHL PLAYER TONIGHT. >> HOW DO THE WINGS DEFEND TONIGHT AND STOP THEIR TWO GAME SKID THEY ARE ON IN. >> WIN ONE ON ONE BATTLE. OWN THE PUCK. WE TALKED ABOUT IT IN THE FACE OFF CIRCLE AND ON “RED WINGS LIVE.”

YOU DON’T HAVE TO DEFEND AS MUCH AND THEN YOU WON’T HAVE TO SPEND A MUCH TIME AGAINST THE YOUNG SKILLED PLAYERS. >> TRANSITION IS GOING TO BE HUGE. >> IT IS. COACH BLASHILL WANTS THE PUCK TO GET UP QUICKER THROUGH THE D TO

THE FORWARDS NOT SPEND SO MUCH TIME LOOKING HUNTING PECKING TRYING TO FIND THE ROUTE. >> SHOULD BE A GOOD GAME. WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE CALL OF THE ACTION. KEN DANIELS AND CHRIS OSGOOD WHO IS BACK HOME IN EDMONTON ARE ON THE CALL.

SHOULD BE A WHOLE LOT OF FUN. LET’S GO TO PUCK DRO. >> Ken: HELLO, EVERYBODY. RED WINGS AND OILERS OPENED THIS BUILDING FOR NHL OCTOBER IN OCTOBER OF 1979. FOLIGNO SCORED HIS FIRST GOAL THAT NIGHT IN A 3-3 TIE. 36 YEARS LATER, NO TIES AND A LAST GAME.

THE GUY WHO PICKED UP HIS FIRST NHL WIN AGAINST THE RED WINGS AND A GUY WHO PICKED UP HIS FIRST NHL SET OUT AGAINST EDMONTON, PETER MRAZEK. HELP RICK LUNDQVIST. TOMAS TATAR STARTED SLOWLY LAST SEASON. HE HAD JUST ONE POINT, IT WAS A

GOAL HIS FIRST NINE GAMES. HE HAS NO GOALS THE FIRST FIVE GAMES THIS SEASON. HAS FIVE SHOTS ON GOAL. YOU HEARD HIM SPEAK WITH JOHN KEATING IN OUR OPEN TONIGHT AT THE TOP OF THE BROADCAST. HE NEEDS TO GET GOING. HE WILL HAVE A DIFFERENT

CENTERMAN TONIGHT IN RILEY SHAY HAND AS BRAD RICHARDS AND TATAR DIDN’T CARRY OVER THE CHEMISTRY THEY HAD IN TRAINING CAMP AND JEFF BLASHILL HAS TO CHANGES THINGS UP. >> Chris: IN TRAINING CAMP, PLAYING A LOT OF HOME TEAMS, YOU HAD SOME CHEMISTRY.

HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO FINE THE RHYTHM IN THE REGULAR SEASON. >> Ken: THE REFEREES, KYLE RAYMOND AND DAN O’ROARK. THE OILERS IN BLUE NEW JERSEY EAST AND THE RED WINGS IN THEIR TRADITIONAL RED AND WHITE ON THE ROAD. FIRST PLAY OFF SIDES IN 12

SECONDS INTO THIS GAME. AND THE NEW HEAD COACH AFTER LEAVING SAN JOSE GOT OUT OF HIS CONTRACT WITH ONE YEAR REMAINING, NEEDED A CHANGE. AND THE EDMONTON OILERS GOT THEMSELVES A GREAT ONE, A FORMER RED WINGS ASSISTANT COACH. >> Chris: HE SHIFTED FROM HIS

COACHING JOB AT SAN JOSE HERE. HERE IN EDMONTON, HE HAS A LOT OF GREAT YOUNG TALENT. HE WILL HAVE TO BE TALENT. WHICH HE IS. >> Ken: SEVEN YEARS IN SAN JOSE, TWO TIMES PRESIDENT TROPHY AND TWO TIMES WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALIST FOR THE SHARKS. COULDN’T GET OVER THE HUMP.

OFF TO A GREAT START THIS YEAR. OILERS OFF TO A 2-4 START. THEY HAVE WON THEIR LAST TWO GAMES AS QUINCY PUT IT IN FRONT OF THE GOAL AND THE OILERS WILL SLAP IT BACK YOU OUT. THEY SOLIDIFIED THEIR GOAL TENDING WITH TALBOTT.

LAST IN THE LEAGUE IN GOALS AGAINST IN THE LAST TWO YEARS. MRAZEK WILL PLAY THE PUCK AHEAD OUT AT CENTER ICE FOR TATAR AS THE RED WINGS FORM A CHAIN ALONG THE CENTER BOARDS WITH ABDELKADER AND LARK IB. ZETTERBERG. TOO TOUR. NO ICING.

ERICSSON ABLE TO KEEP IT IN AND GET TO THE BACK OF THE LINE. THE SHOT IN. DEFLECTED. KNOT KNOCKED OUT IN FRONT OF THE GOAL. LAIN HAD AN OPPORTUNITY. ANOTHER SHOT WENT OFF A SKATE AS TA WHO HALL MOVED THAT PUCK QUICKLY AND MOVED IT BACK.

TURNED ASIDE BY MRAZEK. AND KNOCKED OFF STRIDE. KNOCKED DOWN TO THE ICE. MILLER IN THIS GAME. RED WINGS NUMBER 22. MILLER HAS THE BACK OF THE NET. INTERESTING THAT DREW DOES NOT KNOW ANDREW OF EDMONTON. >> Chris: AMAZING A MILLER PLAYING HOCKEY WASN’T BORN IN ATLANTA.

>> Ken: DARREN HELM ALONG WITH BRAD RICHARDS AS THE PUCK ON KINDL’S STICK. AHEAD FOR PULKKINEN. OILERS BACKHAND IT OUT TO CENTER. OFF ANTON SLEPYSHEV. WEARING NUMBER 42 FOR THE OILERS. HELM, OFF THE GLOVE OF ANDRE. WENT FROM CAROLINA TO LOS ANGELES LAST FEBRUARY.

WAS ACQUIRED BY THE OILERS FOR A FIRST ROUND PICK LAST JUNE TO HELP STABILIZE THEIR BLUE LINE. HIGH PRICED KIETEN DIDN’T WORK. HE IS IN THE AMERICAN HOCKEY LEAGUE. A SAVE BY MRAZEK AND A FACEOFF COMING UP TO HIS LEFT. WELL, THE RED WINGS SHOTS PER

GAME, FEW NEST THE NHL, CHRIS, 21.46789 BUT THEIR FIVE ON FIVE SHOOTING PERCENTAGE WHEN THEY GET THEIR SHOTS IN, MAKING THE MOST OF THEM, 12.5 TO LEAD THE LEAGUE. >> Chris: 2 IS SHOTS A GAME, THEY WANT TO GENERATE UPWARDS OF 30 SHOTS HERE IN EDMONTON.

WHO ARE AVERAGING 33. >> Ken: ZETTERBERG AGAINST NUGENT HOPKINS ALONG WITH MILLER AND HALL. KEPT IN AT THE LINE. OFF THE LEG. SENT BACK IN BY — KRONWALL, DELAYED. AS IT HIT HIS STICK AND RIGHT IN FRONT. OFF SIDES. AND THIS WILL COME ALL THE WAY

BACK DOWN AND BE AN ICING AGAINST DETROIT. >> Chris: ZETTERBERG BRINGS IT DEFENSIVELY ALL YEAR LONG. GREAT PLAY DEFENSIVELY. HEADS UP PLAY BY ZETERERING ABOUT. NOTICE THE TURNOVER AND MAKES THE GREAT PLAY. >> Ken: RED WINGS WANT TO IMPROVE THE FACE OFF, JUST 46%.

BOTTOM FIVE IN THE NHL IN FACEOFFS. HELM HASN’T TAKEN MANY. >> Chris: THE RED WINGS HAVE BEEN KNOWN AS A PUCKLESS TEAM. >> OILERS GET THAT ONE. THE OFFENSIVE TEAM THIS YEAR HAS ADVANTAGE ON FACEOFF AT HOME. LAIN WITH AN INTERCEPT. CROMWELL. LARKIN UP THE MIDDLE. ABDELKADER CARRIESN.

IN FOR LARKIN. LARKIN GETS IN THE ZONE. PUMPED THERE BY GLENDENING. AND THE OILERS WILL SET UP. HIT BY TAYLOR HALL. ONE OF THOSE FOUR FIRST OVERALL PICKS. IN 2010. KLINKHAMMER, NUMBER 12 FOR THE OILERS COLLIDED WITH JOHANN LAST GAME FRANZEN. OFF THE SKATES. OILERS KOOBL ABLE TO KEEP IT IN.

ANDREW FERENCE. THE OILERS CAPTAIN MAKING HIS SECOND EXPERIENCE THIS SEASON. ANDREW FERENCE, A 36-YEAR-OLD BLUE LINER. >> Chris: NICE SKAV BY MAZZ HE CAN. WAY TOO MANY TURNOVERS THE LAST COUPLE OF GAMES. TRYING TO IMPROVE ON. THAT TURN THE PUCK OVER, SEE WHAT HAPPENS HERE.

THE RED WINGS WEREN’T ABLE TO TAKE OVER. MRAZEK GETS THE LEG PAD ON IT AND FINDS THE REBOUND. >> Ken: CONNOR McDAVID ON HIS FACE OF AGAINST RILEY SHSHEAHAN. >> Chris: REALLY GOT TO BE VIGILANT. >> Ken: McDAVID, 97, YAKUPOV, NUMBER 10. POULIOT, NUMBER 67.

TWO FIRST OVERALL PICKS. WITH A FOURTH OVERALL AS MRAZEK MADE THE SAVE. THAT’S POPPED UP. LOOKS LIKE A HARMLESS PLAY AND REALLY TURNED INTO SOMETHING. >> Chris: WRIKS TURN OVER AT THE BLUE LINE. >> Ken: THERE’S McDAVID. TAYLOR HALL WILL CARRY AHEAD. RIGHT WING LOOKS FOR THE PUCK BACK.

MILLER SENT IT HIS WAY. MILLER DISTRIBUTES THAT PUCK WELL, AND COACH HALL WANTS THAT PUCK TO STICK. COMING OFF THE BENCH COLLIDED WITH GREEN. WE’LL GET A STOP IN PLAY. >> Referee: TOO MANY MEN ON THE ICE. >> Ken: THERE WAS TOO MANY MANY

ON THE ICE COLLISION. THIRD RED WINGS TOO MANY MEN ON THE ICE PENALTY THIS SEASON. DISCOMBOBULATED ON THE BENCH FOR THE RED WINGS. >> Chris: THEY ARE NOT COMING OFF THE ICE. YOU HAVE GOT GIVE THE PLAYER ENOUGH TIME. RIGHT HERE, TO GET OFF THE ICE.

NOT GIVEN THAT AMOUNT OF TIME. RED WINGS ON MUCH TOO EARLY. >> Ken: POWER PLAY. EDMONTON POWER PLAY AT 15%. TAYLOR HALL MISSED IT THERE. AT THE LINE. SPINS WITH IT. GIVING IT THE FERENCE. HALL, GOING WIDE. SHOT SAVED BY MRAZEK. NUGENT HOPKINS. MRAZEK.

>> Chris: YOU DO NOT WANT THIS PUCK TO GO RIGHT THROUGH THE SEAMS. THIS IS A SEAM PASS. MILLER HAS TO MAKE SURE THAT PUCK DOESN’T GET THROUGH MRAZEK DOES A GOOD JOB REALIZING HE HAS TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF THE NET. HE COMES RIGHT OUT. GREAT SAVE.

>> Ken: LANDER ON THE FACE OFF. NUGENT HOPKINS ABLE TO GET IT BACK TO THE LINE. THAT WENT WIDE OF THE NET. TOO FAR FOR DARREN HELM TO GET OUT THERE. RED WINGS HAVE KILLED 16 OF 20 PENALTIES THIS SEASON. AVERAGE FOUR HER GAME, CONFUSE MANY FOR JEFF BLASHILL.

WANTS TO CUT THAT TO THREE. FOUR PENALTY KIGS KILLING TIME ON ICE. COLLISION INTO THE GOAL. GOING IN HEAVILY WITH HALL, WHO IS NEVER ONE TO SHY AWAY FROM GOING TO THE FRONT OF THE NET. >> Chris: THE WINGS AREN’T GOING TO WANT TO GIVE UP THAT PASS TOO

MANY TIMES. NICE SAVE HERE. DOING A GOOD JOB GOING HARD TO THE NET. NO CHANCE TO GET A STICK ON IT. NICE SAVE BY MRAZEK. >> Ken: POULIOT ON HIS LEFT. YAKUPOV ON THE RIGHT. AND McDAVID WILL COME IN FOR LETESTU. AND ANDRE SEKERA ON THE PONY.

GLENDENING AND MILLER ON THE PENALTY KILL FOR DETROIT. McDAVID BACK INN FRO. THAT DIDN’T WORK. SHOT THERE WAS BLOCKED. LETESTU SIGN AS A FREE AGENT LAST JULY. AND CLEARED BY JONATHAN ERICSSON DOWN THE ICE. >> Chris: NICE BLOCK BY GLENDENING. 50/50 PUCK BATTLES BY THE BOARDS.

ERICSSON DID A NICE JOB FOR THEM TO GET THAT PUCK DOWN THE ICE. >> Ken: OFFSIDES. YAKUPOV BROUGHT IT IN. FIRST OVERALL PICK FROM 2012, PLAYING HIS 199th GAME HERE TONIGHT AND TRYING TO BEAT THIS YOUNG MAN IN THE DEFENSIVE PART OF THE GAME WHERE HE HAS

STRUGGLED TO FINE HIS WAY. >> Chris: REALLY, IF YOU DATE BACK WHEN HE FIRST WAS DRAFTED BY THE OILERS COACH ACHENS, HE WAS REALLY HARD ON HIM. HE IS A YOUNG PLAYER. LEARNING. SAME THING FOR McDAVID. HE IS TALENTED. YOU HAVE TO LEARN TO PLAY WITHOUT THE PUCK.

HARD TO DO THAT WHEN YOU ARE GETTING YESTERDAY AT. LOSE YOUR CONFIDENCE. YOU CAN TELL UNDER TODD McLELLAN HE HAS FLOURISHED. >> Ken: McDAVID WITH THAT TERRIFIC FEED AND A GOOD CLEAR THERE BY JONATHAN ERICSSON. 20 SECONDS REMAINING IN THE EDMONTON POWER PLAY. AT CENTER. PENALTY IS OVER.

PULKKINEN OUT OF THE BOX. OILERS GO BACK TO GET IT. ERIC, WHO WAS ACQUIRED IN A TRADE FROM OTTAWA. PETER SHA RELY’S FIRST DEAL WHEN HE CAME OVER FROM BOSTON AS GENERAL MANAGER OF THE EDMONTON >> Ken: COUPLE OF YOUNG MEN WHO HAVE BEEN PLAYING AGAINST ONE

ANOTHER FOR THE LAST SIX YEARS OR SO. AND BOTH HAVE A LOT OF RESPECT FOR ONE ANOTHER. DYLAN LARKIN AND CONNOR McDAVID. LET’S LIKE AT THE ACE HARDWARE ACE WATCH. TWO PLAYERS, ANTHONY AND DECLAIRE RIGHT UP THERE WITH THE CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS PAN AARON AND DAVIS.

>> Chris: LUCKILY DAVIS DIDN’T GET HIS FATHER’S HANDS. HE HAS NICE HANDS AS WELL. WHAT APLAYER. RANGERS. >> Ken: GREEN, TURNED OVER. BOTH MEN ON HIS BACKHAND. NOLAN JUST WENT WIDE. WE’VE GOT A PENALTY COMING HERE FOR INTERFERENCE. ERIC, GRYBA, DIG DEFENSEMAN. >> Chris: WHEN YOU HAVE ZERO

SHOTS ON NET BUT YOU HAVE TRAFFIC WITH HELM ANY SHOT IS DANGEROUS. >> Ken: RED WINGS WIN THAT FACEOFF. AS ZETTERBERG SHOOTS ONE. MELVIN TRYING TO FIND IT. HE COULDN’T. ZETTERBERG GOT IT AGAIN. TRYING TO BANC ONE IN OFF TALBOTT OR GET SOMETHING OUT FRONT.

POWER PLAY 2 FOR 13 ON THE SEASON. AL ABDELKADER HAS ONE OF THOSE GOALS, ALONG WITH NYQUIST. BOTH ARE OUT THERE. MY QUEST, IT WAS BLOCKED. MY GEFT TO KRONWALL TO THE LINE, TO ZETDER, ACROSS TO MY GEFT. OFF THE GOAL POST. HE SENT THAT ONE IN QUICK.

DEBTORBERG FOR NYQUIST, LANE. NOBODY RECOVERS. TURNS IN BACK TOWARDS THE NET. ZETTERBERG BACK IN FRONT. REDIRECTED. AND TALBOTT ABLE TO FIND THAT. >> Chris: THIS IS A GREAT SET UP BY THE WINGS. ZETTERBERG OBVIOUSLY A GREAT ACTOR. OFF THE CROSSBAR. YOU MENTION THE WINGS HAD TO START GETTING SOME SHOTS.

ZETTERBERG, LEAVE IT UP TO THE VETERAN. LOOK WHAT THAT CREATES, CREATES OPPORTUNITY. GETS IT BACK. HE GOT ANOTHER TUNE OFF THAT. >> Ken: 13 FACEOFFS, THE RED WINGS HAVE WON TEN TONIGHT. THEY ARE MUCH BETTER IN THAT DEPARTMENT. IN PUCK POSSESSION.

THEY HAVE IT HERE WITH THE MAN ADVANTAGE. RILEY SHEAHAN. RICHARDS WAITS. OFF AGAIN’S STICK. BOUNCES BACK INTO THE RED WINGS ZONE. RICHARDS WILL TURN BACK WITH IT. RICHARDS INTO THE HE HAD MACHINE ON THE ZONE HERE FOR PULKKINEN. BRINGS IT BACK FOR GREEN. FOR TATAR. GREEN, ONE TIMER.

OH, AND JUST SKIPPED PAST THE POST AS IT CHANGED DIRECTION IN FRONT OF THE GREEN SHOT. AND THAT COUNTS IN THE EDMONTON — BACK IN PLAY. WE WILL GET A FACEOFF BACK THIS THE OILERS ZONE. >> Chris: TATAR SEEMS TO BE DOING A GREAT JOB.

RICOCHETED AROUND LIKE A PIN BALL MACHINE, GREEN GETTING THE PUCK THROUGH. GET AS MANY PUCKS AS YOU CAN. HERE AGAIN, DEFLECTED TWO TIMES. ALMOST A GOAL FOR THE RINGS. >> Ken: THE LAST TWO GAMES, THE RED WINGS TOTALED AND OUTSHOT 124-61. YES, THEY NEED SHOTS.

>> Chris: WE HAVE NEVER, EVER SAID THAT OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. >> Ken: NO. THE OILER POWER PLAY HAD A COUPLE EARLY GOING. YOUNG DEFENSEMAN, 19th OVERALL PICK IN 2011. NOT A FIRST OVERALL, BUT STILL 19th IS PRETTY GOOD. BACK TO CENTER FOR KRONWALL.

AS THAT’S CALLED AT THE EDMONTON LINE. >> Chris: WE SHOULD ALWAYS BE AS >> Ken: ON THIS LIST OF FIRST OVERALL PICKS, McDAVID, YAKUPOV, NUGENT HOPKINS, HALL, THEN I’VE GOT KLEFBOM, EVERI — >> Chris: IMAGINE HAVING ALL THOSE PICKS. YOU CAN SEE WHY THE PACE HASN’T

BEEN GOOD, THEY HAVEN’T BEEN CLOSE TO MAKING THE PLAYOFFS. THEY HAVE BEEN OUT BY CHRISTMAS THE LAST TWO SEASONS. THEY ARE LOOKING FOR BIG THING HERE, McDAVID WILL CERTAINLY HELP THAT. 2-4 IS NOT A GREAT START BUT THEY LOOK BETTER THAN THEY HAVE IN THE PAST.

>> Ken: EVERILY IS INJURED. A MONTH AWAY. HE HAS 62 POINTS TO LEAD EDMONTON LAST YEAR. MRAZEK THE SAVE. COULDN’T FINE THE REBOUND, BUT NO HARM THERE, WE’VE GOT A PENALTY COMING. HOLDING INDICATED BY DAN O’ROARK. IT WILL BE AGAINST DETROIT. >> Referee: NUMBER 20, HOEDING.

>> Ken: DREW MILLER, ONE OF THE RED WINGS KEY PENALTY KILLERS. >> Chris: THEY WILL ARGUE THE CALL. I GUESS ANY PLAYER WILL ARGUE THE CALL WHEN THEY GO TO THE BOX. MILLER DIDN’T SEEM HAPPY WHEN HE WAS OUT THERE. ON THE BACK THERE.

SO FAR HE IS GETTING THE RESPECT THAT VERY FEW PLAYERS GOET AT A YOUNG AGE. >> Ken: WOW. OKAY. TAYLOR HALL, SAVED BY MRAZEK. I. >> Ken: YOU CAN DEFINITELY SEE WHY MILLER DIDN’T REALIZE THE CALL WAS ON HIM UNTIL THE REF POINTED HIM OUT.

YOU CAN SEE WHAT HE IS EXPLAINING ABOUT. >> HALL, WHO LEADS THE OILER FORWARDS IN TIME ON ICE. WILL GO DOWN AS TALBOTT WILL LEAVE US. SECOND OILER POWER PLAY IN THIS GAME. TWO OF THEIR SEVEN SHOTS ON GOAL CAME ON THEIR FIRST ONE.

IN FOR RYAN NUGENT HOPKINS. NUGENT HOPKINS, WHO WAS VERY GOOD LAST YEAR, TOOK SOME BIG STRIDES, CLEARED AHEAD SMARTLY THERE BY DANNY DEKEYSER, AHEAD FOR ABDELKADER, WHO WILL TURN BACK. GLENDENING WILL GO OFF, AND ON WILL COME FERRARO. >> Chris: DEKEYSER MADE GREAT

PLAYS, HEADS UP PLAYS IN THE MILLING OF THE ICE ENABLING TO GET AT THAT PUCK DOWN. FOR A YOUNG MAN, A VERY HEDGY PLAYER. >> Ken: YAKUPOV. PUT IT IN FRONT. SCORES! LETESTU. >> Chris: THIS PLAY IS KIND OF SLOW TO DEVELOP OFF THE RUSH HERE.

YAKUPOV FINDS HIMSELF MORE ROOM THAN HE EXPECTED. AND LETESTU GETS HIS BODY ON ERICSSON KIND OF LIKE THE GOAL IN CAROLINA WHEN DERBY GOT INSIDE ERICSSON, WHO CAN BE MORE AGGRESSIVE ON THIS PLAY. BUT LETESTU GETS THAT BODY POSITION, WIDE OPEN IN FRONT OF

MRAZEK WHO HAS NO CHANCE. HE TIPPED IT INTO THE OPEN NET. YOU HAD LIKE TO RED WINGS TO BE MORE AGGRESSIVE ON THE PENALTY KILL. TOO EASY ENTRY FOR THE OILERS AND TOO EASY FOR THE OILERS TO PUT THAT POK PUCK INTO THE NET.

>> Ken: LETESTU FORMERLY OF THE COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS. HE GIVES YOU HAD MON ON THE A LEAD HERE. THIS WILL BE ICING AGAINST THE OILERS. >> Ken: BEING AGGRESSIVE, GETTING AFTER THE OILERS POWER PLAY ON THAT LAST GOAL BY LETESTU. HERE’S KIMGDS FOR CHAN. FOR KINDL.

BY THE OILERS, IN THEIR OWN ZONE. NYQUIST, WHO HAS GOT IT NOW. IN FRONT OF THE GOAL. NYQUIST — THE SHOT WAS BLOCKED AS SEKERA STAYED WITH HIM. TATAR GATHERS. BACK OF THE NET, WHO TRIED TO SPIN AWAY. DEKEYSER DEGREEN, A OF THE SHOW, IT’S LOOSE.

AND NYQUIST COULDN’T GET A SHOT AWAY. IT SLIPPED PAST DEKEYSER AND DOWN FOR GREEN. >> Chris: THE RED WINGS ONLY THIS TWO SHOTS UP TO THIS POINT. JUST OVER SIX MINUTES IN THE FIRST PERIOD. WSH THAT NYQUIST COULD HAVE GOTTEN A STICK ON THAT.

>> Ken: RED WINGS NEARLY HAD TOO MANY MEN AGAIN. GREEN WAS COMING. GREEN HAS GOT THE PUCK. LAST YEAR, THEY HAD TOO MANY TOO MANY MEN ON THE ICE PENALTIES. AND THREE THIS YEAR UP AMONGST THESE LEADERS ALREADY. THIS IS THE RED WINGS SIXTH GAME A 3-2 RECORD COMING INTO PLAY

TONIGHT. OILERS, 2-4. CAM TALBOTT IS OUT THERE. COMING OFF TWO WINS OVER CALGARY AND VANCOUVER. TWO WINS BY PACIFIC DIVISION BY EDMONTON. ALL LAST YEAR, THEY HAD ONLY ONE WIN IN THE PACIFIC. WHAT A SHOT. AND A STOP BY >> THIS GAME BREAK IS BROUGHT TO

YOU BY MET ROW DETROIT CHEVY DEALERS. SABERS WIN 2-1 IS THE FINAL. NOW BACK TO THE ICE. >> Ken: THANK YOU TREVOR. HANSON’S BRING YOU THE REPORT CARD ON HOW THE RED WINGS HAVE DOMINATED IN REXALL PLACE. THEY WILL BE MOVING INTO A NEW

BUILDING NEXT SEASON ALL LOW THE RED WINGS LIKE THIS ONE. THEY HAVE GOTTEN AT LEAST A POINT IN 29 OF THE LAST 30 GAMES THEY HAVE PLAYED AGAINST THE OILERS. >> Chris: RED WINGS DO ALWAYS PLAY WELL HERE. EDMONTON HASN’T HAD A LOD OF LOT

OF GOOD ON ICE POST TIME. >> Ken: JUST THINK IF YOU WEREN’T HURT HERE IN ’06. OILERS HAD ONE PACIFIC DIVISION TEAM LAST SEASON. IT CAME AGAINST SAN JOSE AND TODD McLELLAN. >> Chris: TODD IS A VERY RELAXED, DOWN TO EARTH COACH. NO A — NOT A YELLER.

>> Ken: REMINDER TO GET TO THE JOE TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27th TO SEE THE WINGS BATTLE HURRICANES. $67 FAN PACKS STILL AVAILABLE. PLUS EVERY FAN GETS A TEAM WALL CALENDAR. FOR TICKETS, GO TO DETROIT RED WINGS.COM. MIKE GREEN ON DEFENSE WITH DEKEYSER. THROUGH BY FERRARO.

WHO IS OUT WITH MILLER AND GLENDENING. GLENDENING HAS GOT IT. FERRARO BACK THERE. MILLER WITH A LINE FOR DEKEYSER. NOW TO GREEN. OILERS DOING A GOOD JOB OF GETTING — FERRARO COMING OVER. BACK IN THE LINE UP. DID NOT PLAY LAST GAME. DREW MILLNER FRONT. DEKEYSER.

HE GOT BUMPED BY ANTON SLEPYSHEV. MILLER BLEW A TIRE. OILERS BRING IT DOWN. KLINKHAMMER GOING AFTER IT. HE CAME IN A FIRST ROUND PICK FROM PITTSBURGH IN THE DAVID BRANDTE ERA. FOUR TO GO IN PERIOD NUMBER ONE. TAYLOR HALL TRYING TO DRAW A PENALTY. WENT OWN EASILY.

ZETTERBERGET GOING IT AHEAD. DUMPED THERE IS KRONWALL BY HALL. WELL, NOW HE’S GOING. HALL IS SAYING NO. KRONWALL SAYING NO, I DIDN’T. KRONWALL PROBABLY UPSET THE PREVIOUS ONE. THE RED WINGS GOING TO A POWER PLAY. >> Chris: KRONWALL IN STRIDE. HE GETS HIS STICK TANGEED UP IN KRONWALL’S SKATE.

BIG POWER PLAY HERE FOR THE WINGS. >> Ken: RICHARDS WILL BEGIN. BUT NOT IN THE FACE OFF CIRCLE. LUXURY OF HAVING CENTERMAN RILEY SHEAHAN COMING IN. PULKKINEN ON THE RIGHT. TATAR ON THE RIGHT SIDE. TO RICHARDS. A SHOT. AND A GLOVE SAVE BY TALBOT. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF TALBOT?

>> Chris: I LIKE HIM A LOT. I WATCHED HIM PLAY FOR RANGERS LAST YEAR. DID A GREAT JOB. VERY POISED. DOES A GREAT JOB. HE IS A GREAT GOALIE. HE HAS TAKEN THE LONG ROAD IN THE NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE. HAD TOUGH TIMES. STRONG MENTALLY. LEARNED TO PLAY THE GAME.

WATCHING THAT PUCK IN THE TRAFFIC. >> Ken: ONE OF THOSE GOAL TENORS LIKE MRAZEK, GAME DAY, NO PROBLEM. SAW HIM ALL MORNING LONG. GOAL TENORS BALL. MRAZEK KICKED THAT ONE OUT WITH PURPOSE. RIGHT TO TATAR. HERE’S PULKKINEN. TRIED TO PULL IT BACK.

THE OILERS ON A SECOND TRY WILL GET IT DOWN. >> Chris: HAVING TROUBLE GENERATING ANYTHING ON THIS POWER PLAY RIGHT NOW. ABDELKADER OR GREEN, USE THOSE GUYS. TRY TO GET A BALANCE AND A GOAL HERE. >> Ken: ZETTERBERG FEEDING HIS WAY INTO THE ZONE. TOO MUCH.

KRONWALL GETS HIM THE PUCK. LARKIN, FIRING. AGAIN THE GLOVE OF CAM TALBOT. >> Chris: OH, THAT WAS AN IMPRESSIVE SAVE. IN AWE OF HOW BIG THESE GOAL TENDERS, TALBOT STANDS 6’4″ IN THE NET, PROBABLY 6’6″. ONCE AGAIN, THE NET FRONT PRESENCE BY THE RED WINGS IS

MORE IMPRESSIVE THAN THE STOP BY LAGGIN. >> Ken: TO THE CORNER BY EDMONTON. SIXTH FACE OFF WIN THIS PERIOD. RED WINGS 17. NYQUIST, KRONWALL ACROSS. ZETTERBERG. TO, LAIN. CHECKED IMMEDIATELY BY RYAN NUGENT HOPKINS. AND DOWN THE ICE. ZETTERBERG TURNS WITH IT. GRAN ATTO TALKING ABOUT

ZETTERBERG, WHAT A WONDERFUL PLAYER HE IS. NYQUIST, GETTING INTO THE ZONE. COOPERATE GET THROUGH THREE OILERS AND HAPPY BEEN A I BELIEVE TO CLEAR. >> Chris: COULDN’T PLAY QUICK ENOUGH. >> Ken: THE WRING POWER PLAY WILL COME TO A CONCLUSION AS

TAYLOR HALL IS OUT OF THE BOOK. 0 FOR 2. THREE SHOTS FROM THESE TWO POWER PLACE FOR THE RED WINGS. LONG STRETCH, ACROSS CENTER BY HELM. MAYBE NOT. STAY TUNED TO “RED WINGS LIVE” FOLLOWING THE GAME. WE WILL SELECT THE FOX SPORTS DETROIT RED WINGS PLAYER OF THE GAME.

AND AT McDONALD’S, STOP BY FOR YOUR BREAKFAST FAVORITES, NOW BEING SERVED ALL DAY. >> Chris: KEN, THE ONE THING I NOTICED SO FAR ON THIS GAME, PENALTY KILL FOR OILERS MUCH MORE AGGRESSIVE THAN IT HAS BEEN IN THE PAST, UNDER McCLELLAN. THIRD ON THE PENALTY KILL.

THEY HAVE MUCH MORE AGGRESSIVE. >> Ken: YEAH. PLAY BY KINDL SMART LOW TO GLENDENING. HELM COULDN’T GET LIEU WITH THE LINE, TURNING IS RYAN NUGENT HOPKINS. ANDREW MILL E NUMBER 58 FOR THE OILERS. FROM MICHIGAN WHO HAD CHEMISTRY WITH TAYLOR HALL LAST SEASON. GOOD MOVE BY MILLER.

NICE MOVE BY TAYLOR HALL IN TIGHT QUARTERS. THE RED WINGS BREAK AWAY, HERE COMES EMHELM WITHDREW MILLER GOING TO THE GOAL. AHAD HE FOR ANDREW MILLER AT CENTER IT WAS PUMPED. HE WAS JUST CALLED UP FROM THE AMERICAN HOC LEE LEAGUE, THE BAKERSFIELD CONDORS THE AMERICAN

HOCKEY LEAGUE AFFILIATE FOR EDMONTON. THEY DID NOT CALL UP DION DRIES DALE. THEY WENTED A RIGHTY. THAT’S WHY MILLER GOT A CALL. HERE’S YAKUPOV, UP WITH POULIOT. POULIOT COVER BY GREEN. SAV BY MRAZEK OFF THE ONE TIMER FROM SEKERA. 20 SECONDS TO GO IN THE OPEN PERIOD.

TURNS IT OVER, AND TURNS IT INTO NO ZONE. DOMINANT PERIOD IN TERMS OF SHOTS BY EDMONTON. RED WINGS DOMINATED THE FACEOFF CIRCLE. AND THE OILS ON A QUESTIONABLE PENALTY TO DREW MILLER GET THE ONLY GOAL, A POWER PLAY GOAL FROM MARK LETESTU FROM YAKUPOV.

AT 12:32678 OUR RAM INTERMISSION REPORT, THE FIRST-ROUND PICK OF THE . >> THE ONLY GOAL THIS GAME, MARK LETESTU, POWER PLAY IN THE FIRST PERIOD. THE ONLY GOAL TO PETE PETER MRAZEK. SCOUTING REPORT ON PETER MRAZEK’S FIRST CAREER SHUT OUT WAS HERE IN THIS BUILDING.

>> Chris: YOUNG MRAZEK HERE. DOESN’T MATTER WHERE HE IS PLAYING. THAT’S WHAT MADE HIM AT A YOUNG AGE THE GOAL TENDER HE IS. HE IS GOOD IN ANY SITUATION YOU THROW HIM INTO. >> Ken: COMING INTO THE GAME, THE RED WINGS SHOT DIFFERENTIAL, MINUS 60.

21.4 SHOTS PER GAME, ALLOWING 33.4. THAT’S TO MUCH OF A DIFFERENTIAL. THEY WERE OUTSHOT IN THAT FIRST PERIOD BY SIX, TRAIL BY ONE. SECOND PERIOD IS UNDERWAY AS TATAR MOVES UP FOR SHEAHAN, QUICK SHOT, SAVE BY TALBOT. MRAZEK’S FIRST SHUT OUT AGAINST EDMONTON.

PLAZ’S FIRST WIN WAS AGAINST THE RED WINGS, AS THE MEMBER OF THE RANGERS. PLAYED OCTOBER OF 2013. HERE’S SHAY HAND. PENALTY COMING TO THE OILERS. DEKAISER WITH A WRIST SHOT. WHITE. TATAR HOPE AGAIN. CALLED ANOTHER ONE. >> Chris: I THINK THEY ARE ONLY CALLING ONE.

THE RED WINGS WILL HEAD TO A BELL TILE POWER PLAY. THE RED WINGS ARE THE VICTIM OF PENALTY DAMAGE HERE BECAUSE THEY WORKED HARD TO COME OUT HERE AT THE START OF THE SECOND PERIOD. THE COACH TOLD THEM TO GET MORE PUCKS TO THE NET.

THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT THEY DID. WINNING 50/50, HER THEY ARE HOLDING OFF A LITTLE TOO LONG AGAINST THE BOARD. THEY WILL SIT FOR TWO AT THE SECOND PERIOD. >> Ken: KORPIKOSKI SITS IN THE BOX. THIS DROVE BY EDMONTON, OUT OF PLAY. LARKIN IN THAT FIRST PERIOD FOR

THE RED WINGS PLAYED 6:18, THE TOP LINE. ZETTERBERG PLAYED 6:24. AND ABDELKADER, 7:26. THE ICE TIME MAY NOT BE DISTRIBUTED AS EVENLY AS HE HAS BEEN DOING. >> Chris: RELY ON THAT TOP LINE. THEY DESERVE IT. THEY HAVE BEEN GREAT THIS YEAR. >> ZETTERBERG AND LARKIN EACH

WITH A POINT IN EACH GAME THIS SEASON. ZETTERBERG HAS GOT IT. MORE I ASSISTANTS AND POINTS DID THORBERG DOES. TIPPED, JUST WIDE. ZETTERBERG NO LONGER ATOP OF THE SCORING PARADE BUT RIGHT THERE AMONG THE LEADERS. ABDELKADER AT THE LINE. THEN BLOCKED BY SCHULTZ. CAME LOOSE. GIVEN AWAY. NYQUIST BACK IN FRONT.

UNABLE TO GET THERE WAS ZETTERBERG. FOR THE LINE. GOOD PLAY BY LARKIN TO KEEP IT OFF, OFF THE SHIN PAD OF ABDELKADER. ABDELKADER IN FRONT AGAIN. REDIRECT. NYQUIST TO ABDELKADER ONE MORE TIME. KRONWALL, FOR NYQUIST. COULDN’T GET A SHOT AWAY. STICK IN THE LANE. CRAYON WALL WILL SHOOT.

SAVED BY TALBOT. REBOUND, BY KLEFBOM. CLEARED AWAY. HERE’S TATAR WITH RICHARDS, SHEAHAN, PULKKINEN AND GREEN. PULKKINEN TRYING TO TURN AWAY. LEFT IT THERE ARE TO SHEAHAN WHO GETS HOLD UP. RICHARDS CAME IN. PULKKINEN, RIGHT POINT N. FOR AT THAT AT THAT. TIME. NOT THAT MUCH TIME.

FRARNS GOT A STICK IN THERE AND NUGENT HOPKINS WILL KILL OFF THE REST OF THIS WRING POWER PLAY. GIVEN AWAY INSIDE THE LINE. YAKUPOV WAS DUMPED. PENALTY COMING TO DETROIT NOW. IT’S BEEN A FRACTURED GAME SO FAR. >> Chris: THE BOYS AREN’T LETTING ANYTHING GO HERE.

COUPLE CALLS THAT DIDN’T SEEM TO BE PENALTIES. HERE GREEN WAS FORCED TO JUMP IN. GREEN EXTENDING THAT RIGHT LEG OUT, TRIPPING YAKUPOV UP AFTER THE TURNOVER. WHEN YOU TORNADOOVER, YOU TEND TO PANIC, TRYING TO RUSH IN, WITH THAT RIGHT LEG BRINGING HIM DOWN. ANOTHER POWER PLAY HERE.

>> Ken: LANDER, HALL, NUGENT HOPKINS FOR OILERS. NUGENT HOPKINS. NO REBOUND. GOOD SAVE BY MRAZEK. WE’LL HAVE LOOK AT RYAN NUGENT HOPKINS WHO MADE BIG STRIDES LAST SEASON FOR THE EDMONTON OILERS. ANOTHER FIRST OVERALL PICK. >> Chris: VERY GOOD PLAYER. OVER THE LAST TWO, THREE YEARS,

THEY HAVE PLENTY OF YOUNG PLAYERS WEARING THEY As. >> Ken: 190 POINTS IN 264 CAREER GAMES FOR THEM. GLENDENING GETS IT IN. HE WAS 7-0 IN THE FACEOFFS IN THE FIRST PERIOD. AND IT STAYED THERE. ON A GOOD OPPORTUNITY AS TAL BOTD HAD TO COME UP BIG.

HELM HAS GOT IT. GLENDENING COMES OFF. FERRARO COMES ON. A HIT FROM BEHIND AS HELM WAS DRIVEN TO THE BOARDS BY SCHULTZ. NO CALL. MILLER COME OVER FOR HELM AS THE RED WINGS CONTINUE TO KILL THIS EDMONTON POWER PLAY. FOR TEDDY PURCELL. LANDER COULDN’T FINE IT.

DEI COULDER SPUN AROUND OUT THERE. PUCK LOOSE. AND WRAPPED DOWN THE ICE. TALBOT, FOR SEKERA. LEAD PASS FOR GOAL SCORER ON THE POWER PLAY ON THIS GAME. LETESTU. WE’VE GOT TOO MANY MEN ON THE ICE. SO THE OILERS ARE GOING TO BE SHORTHANDED. >> Chris: GLENDENING IS REALLY

DRIFTING AROUND HOUNDING THE PUCK. YOU HAVE TO LOVE HOW HE TAKES OVER AFTER THE PUCK. QUICK BACKHANDER. THAT’S WHAT SIZE WILL GET YOU, TALBOT AT 6’4″, GETS THE SHOULDER ON THAT PUCK. GOT TO LOVE HOW HE SAVED THAT PUCK AND OUTED THE OILERS IN THAT TURNOVER.

>> Ken: FOUR ON FOUR HOCKEY FOR THE TIME BEING. McDAVID ON THE FACEOFF WITH BRAD RICHARDS, WHO IS OUT WITH TATAR. RICHARDS WITH IT, THEN KNOCKS OFF HIS RETURN FOR EDMONTON. NOW THE OTHER WAY TO GET AWAY FROM RICHARDS. FOR MARK FAYNE. CONNOR McDAVID WITH A GOOD MOVE.

OFF BALANCE BUT KEPT IT UP WITH NAIL YAKUPOV. THE TWO FIRST OVERALL PICKS OUT THERE. McDAVID HAD TWO GOALS IN THEIR LAST WIN. OF THE SUGE. TALBOT CUT THAT ONE DOWN. >> Chris: PLENTY OF SHOTS. THESE ARE BLOCKED OR MISS OPPORTUNITIES ON THEIR OWN.

>> Ken: NYQUIST COULDN’T GET THERE. McDAVID, LETESTU, OFF THE OUTSIDE OF THE NET. NEARLY HAD HIS SECOND. RYAN NUGENT HOPKINS BACK IN. THAT SHOT HIGH AND OFF THE GLASS. >> Chris: RED WINGS HAVE HAD THE LACK OF SHOTS. HALL SHOOTING NEARLY FIVE PER GAME EARLY ON THIS SEASON.

TODD McLELLAN SAYING SHOTS FROM ANYWHERE ARE GOOD BECAUSE YOU GET PLACE OUT OF THEM OFF THE GOAL TENDER. >> Ken: RED WINGS POWER PLAY HERE. ABDELKADER IN. COULDN’T GET IT THROUGH. LARKIN, GOOD RECOVERY. ZETTERBERG WITH KRONWALL IN THE WHACK HAND. ZETTERBERG A SHOT, IT WAS DEFLECTED.

NYQUIST TO PICK IT UP. TO KRONWALL, OVER TO ZETTERBERG. ABDELKADER IN FRONT. KNOCKED DOWN. RED WINGS HAVE TO GO BACK WITH 20 LEFT WITH TOO MANY MEN ON THE ICE AGAIN. >> Chris: ESSENTIALLY WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GIVE CREDIT HERE.

THEY ARE BLOCKING A TON OF THE RED WINGS OFFENSE. THEY ARE FINDING THE PUCK THROUGH THE TRAFFIC. >> Ken: A NICE RUSH BY THE RED WINGS DEFENSEMAN. >> Chris: D.C. MAFD IS A WONDERFUL PLAYER. SPIED, ABILITY, AND VISION. A GREAT PLAY MAKER SETS UP LETESTU. JUST MISSES.

HIS SECOND OF THE GAME. BUT MRAZEK DID A GREAT JOB GETTING ACROSS TO IT. 18 YEARS OLD. RED WINGS REALLY, JUST LIKE LAST GAME. TOO MANY TURN OVERS. ESPECIALLY AT THE BLUE LINE. USUALLY WHEN YOU TURN A PUCK OVER — ALL OF THESE PLAYS HERE

THEY ARE OFF TO THE RACES. AGAIN IT IS SMARTER PLAY BY DETROIT DETROIT IN THEIR OWN ZONE. ALTHOUGH IT’S DANGEROUS. >> Ken: THE REST OF THE RED WINGS MAN ADVANTAGE. THE RED WINGS SPENDING NEARLY A MINUTE PER GAME IN THEIR OWN DEFENSIVE ZONE.

TIMES TWO OF THE GAMES UP TO THREE MINUTES IN THEIR OWN ZONE. THAT IS A LOT OF TIME. IT TIRES PEOPLE OUT. BROUGHT BACK IN PIE POULIOT. RIGHT THROUGH THE MIDDLE. SCORES. WHAT A GREAT PASS! CONNOR McDAVID. YOU SEE THOSE NIFTY HANDS RIGHT THERE. >> Chris: McDAVID BEAT RICHARD

TO THE DETROIT NET, OUTMUSCLED HIM. THE SPEED OF THE YOUNG PLAYER, RICHARDS JUST COULDN’T HANDLE. THE PLAY AT THE BLUE LINE, KINDL DOES A NICE JOB TRYING TO STAN UP. WASN’T ABLE TO DO SO. POULIOT THROWS IT ACROSS. McDAVID TOO MUCH FOR RICHARDS TO HANDLE.

UP IN THE SHY LOT, TOPS AND CIRCLES IN. GOT BODY POSITION WITH THE SPEED. POULIOT. AND RICHARDS GETS TIRED AT THE TOP OF THE CIRCLE. McDAVID MADE A NIFTY MOVE ON MRAZEK WHO DIDN’T HAVE MUCH OF AN OPPORTUNITY ON A GREAT MOVE

BY THE FIRST OVERALL PICK. >> Ken: HE GOT A STANDING OVATION HERE FROM THE CROWD FOR HIS FIRST HOME GOAL FOR CONNOR McDAVID. SO THE RED WINGS DOWN BY TWO. IT’S OFF TO THE RACES W NYQUIST WHEN WE COME BACK. >> Ken: WINSOR ONTARIO IN 2012

HAD A HORSE CALLED I’LL HAVE ANOTHER WON TWO OF THE THREE LEGS OF THE TRIPLE CROWN. AND NYQUIST WILL RUN IN THE BREEDER’S CUP. NYQUIST THE PLAYER WILL BE WATCHING, AND NYQUIST THE HORSE COULD BECOME A 2016 TRIPLE CROWN THREAT. HE HAS OTHER HORSES NAMED TATAR

AND MRAZEK WAITING TO RUN. SHOULD BE INTERESTED AS IS THIS RUSH HERE BY THE OILERS. PER SELL RIGHT IN. RIGHT IN, AND SCORES! >> Chris: WELL, AT THE COMPLETION OF THAT STORY, THE OILERS WERE OFF TO THE RACES IN THEIR OWN RIGHT. >> Ken: THIS IS AN UNFORTUNATE

RACE FOR QUINCY AS IT GOES OFF HIS STICK. DEKEYSER GOES IN TO TRY TO KEEP THAT PUCK IN. THE OILERS DO A GREAT JOB OF TURNING THAT PUCK OVER. A QUICK NIFTY PASS AGAIN IN A 2 ON 1. GOOD TRY BY MRAZEK. QUINCY IS TRYING TO DO

EVERYTHING HE CAN TO PICK UP THAT OILERS FORWARD. INED A VERT ON THELY GOES OFF THE SKATE AND PAST MRAZEK INTO THE NET. >> Chris: UNFORTUNATE FOR QUINCY. TWO GAMES IN A ROLE. IN MONTREAL HE WENT TO CLEAR IT AND IT WENT OFF GALLAGHER’S SKATE.

GALLAGHER SAID HE STEP ON THE PUCK. >> Ken: I GET WHAT THE RED WINGS ARE DOING. THEY HAVEN’T GENERATED A LOT OF SHOTS. THEY ARE TRYING TO JUMP IN AND CREATE OPPORTUNITIES. RIGHT THERE, DANNY DEKEYSER JUMPED IN TRYING TO CREATE A TUNE FOR HIS CLUB.

BUT THEY CREATED THE TURNOVER AND MADE GOOD ON IT. >> Chris: LANDER WILL GET CREDIT FOR THE GOAL AND PURCELL AND KORPIKOSKI. POWER PLAY GOAL FROM LETESTU IN THE FIRST. AND CONNOR McDAVID’S FIRST GOAL AT HOMEMADE IT 2-0. NOW THIS ONE FROM ANTON LANDER, 3-0.

AS TALBOT BLOCKED THAT ONE. >> Ken: WHERE IN THE PAST THE 3-0 EDMONTON LEAD YOU WOULD STILL BE WONDERING, BUT WITH TALBOT IN GOALER IT HAS SOLIDIFIED THEIR BACK END. >> Chris: AND THE COACH BEHIND THE BENCH WHO KNOWS HOW TO COACH THE TEAM.

THEY ARE WAY MORE STRUCTURED THAN I’VE SEEN THEM. MUCH BETTER TEAM IN THEIR OWN ZONE. THEY HAVE BETTER GOAL TENDING AND THEY ARE NOT GIVING UP QUALITY OPPORTUNITIES LIKE THEY HAVE IN THE PAST. TOUGH TEAM TO PLAY AGAINST. >> Ken: OILERS WON THEIR LAST TWO GAMES.

2-4 OUT OF THE GATE. INCLUDING THE RECORD THIS SEASON. 3-14-2 OUT OF THE GATE COMBINED THE PAST THREE SEASONS. A MUCH BETTER START THIS YEAR FOR SURE FOR THE EDMONTON OILERS AND A GOOD START IN THE FIRST HALF OF THEGATE GAME TONIGHT. SATURDAY IS A WHOLE DAY OF

COLLEGE FOOTBALL ACROSS THE FOX NETWORK. UTAH TAKES ON A USC TEAM LOOKING TO GET THEIR SEASON BACK ON TRACK. THAT’S SATURDAY ON FS 1, FOX STREAMING LIVE ON FOX SPORTS GO. TURNING IS ANDREW MILLER, NUMBER 58, FOR EDMONTON. CLINK HAM E LETESTU TRIED TO

CENTER, KLINKHAMMER BACK TO THE NET. STAYS WITH IT. EN A ANGLED ONE TO THE LINE. A SAVE BY MRAZEK. GRYBA HAS A REACH. ABLE TO KNOCK THAT AWAY AS NYQUIST TRIED TO GET THROUGH. LOOSE PUCK TO RILEY SHEAHAN. TIPPED BY NYQUIST. TO THE FAR SIDE GOES ERICSSON.

NYQUIST BACK OF THE NET. ANDREW FERENCE TRYING TO CONTAIN HIM. NYQUIST GETTING AWAY FROM HIM. FOR TATAR. THEN TURNED AROUND BY HIS NUMBER 21 COUNTERPART. KEPT IN AT THE LINE BY KRONWALL. FOR SHEAHAN. TATAR GIVES CHASE. KRONWALL OFF A LEG OF FERENCE. BACK FOR TATAR AGAIN. TOO HOT OFF HIS STICK.

TAKEN BY ANTON SLEPYSHEV. THIRD ROUND PICK IN 2013. BOUNCED OFF GLENDENING. GOT HIM IN THE FACE. OFF THE BENCH FOR NAIL — BLOCKED BY MILLER. WHO IS UP THE MIDDLE. DREW MILLER ALONE. OH, AND JUST SENT IT WIDE A. LITTLE REACH THERE. MAYBE PULLED THEM OFF STRIDE

WITH A FREE HAND AND A GOOD TUNE TO GET THE WRING ON THE BOARD FOR DREW MILLER. >> Chris: NICE TUNE FOR MILLIONER ON THE BREAK AWAY. OILERS NOT ALLOWING OPPORTUNITIES ON THEIR NET. THE BACK NET BY THE OILERS IS GREAT. MILLER HAD A LOT OF COMFORT

LEVEL, ABLE TO DO WHAT HE WANTED WITH THE PUCK. >> Ken: HERE’S A BREAK IN AGAIN. AND POULIOT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY THERE. HE COULD HAVE WALKED RIGHT IN. TAYLOR HALL MOVED UP ON KINDL. LARKIN SPEEDS, TRYING GET THROUGH. BUT SCHULTZ TOOK IT AWAY. FORMER ANAHEIM SECOND ROUND PICK

WHO NEVER SIGNED WITH THE DUCKS. RYAN NUGENT HOPKINS. ABDELKADER, LARKIN OPEN AGAIN. AND THAT ONE KNOCKED AWAY AS LARKIN IS OFF SIDES. WE’LL GET A STOP IN PLAY. TWO MILLERS IN THIS GAME. ON >> Ken: THERE IS BLOOM FIELD HILLS MICHIGAN NATIVE ANDREW MILLER WHO PLAYED FOR ANDREW

WISEN BALK. WE ASKED ANDREW WHAT’S YOUR GOAL TONIGHT? HE SAID TO SCORE A GOAL WITH SOMEBODY ELSE ON THE ICE WITH ME. WHY? BECAUSE HIS LONE GOAL IN LOS ANGELES WAS ON A PENALTY SHOT. >> Chris: ANDREW MILLER IS ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO PROVED TO

ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO SAID HE WAS TOO SMALL THAT HE WASABLE TO WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP. >> Ken: THAT GOAL IS TOUGHER ON A FIVE ON FIVE GOAL. >> Chris: YOU THINK SO. >> Ken: OH, A GOOD SAVE THERE BY MRAZEK. CALLED UP FROM THE AMERICAN

HOCKEY LEAGUE AND GETS TO PLAY ON THE TOP LINE WITH RYAN NUGENT HOPKINS AND TAYLOR HALL. SOME WILL SAY WITH ANDREW MILLER IS PLAYING TONIGHT, HE IS HOLDING A SPOT UNTIL EBERLE RETURNS. THEY HAVE TRIED A OF THE HOW OF PEOPLE IN THAT SPOT AND NO ONE

HAS BEEN ABLE TO GET IT DONE YET SO MILLER HAS THE TUNE. >> Chris: HE HAS BEEN DOING A GREAT JOB. >> Ken: HERE’S BRAD RICHARDS TRYING TO FIND SPACE THERE AGAINST JUSTIN SCHULTZ. KLEFBOM FOR TAYLOR HALL. PICKED UP BY RICHARDS. PULKKINEN HAD NO SPACE.

RICHARDS BRINGS IT IN WITH HELM. RICHARDS CUTS TO THE MIDDLE. FINDS JONATHAN ERICSSON WHO JOINS IN DEEP. ERICSSON HAS HAD A FEW GOALS IN THIS BUILDING, AT REXALL PLACE. AS THE PUCK GETS OUT OF PLAY. AND ANOTHER SIMILARITY BESIDES THE NAME TO DREW MILLER AND

ANDREW MILLER, HOW ABOUT HIM AND JUSTIN ABDELKADER? JUSTIN ABDELKADER WAS MR. HOCKEY IN HIGH SCHOOL IN 2004. AND ANDREW MILLER WAS MICHIGAN’S MR. HOCKEY IN HIGH SCHOOL AT KRON BROOK IN ’06-’07. WE TOLD YOU THIS MORNING THAT HIS BUDDY GRIFFIN HOWELL, HIS BUDDY HAS SEASON TICKETS.

WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER ABOUT THE RED WINGS GROWING UP, SITTING BEHIND CHRIS BOSTWICK AND WATCHING HIM PLAY ALL THOSE GAMES. — CHRIS OSGOOD. >> Chris: I WAS SITTING ON THE RIGHT SIDE. >> Ken: SAVE BY TALBOT. LOOT IN FRONS OF THE GOAL.

KINDL COMES OVER TO GET IT. TATAR. HERE’S SHEAHAN BACK TO THE NET. MARK FAYNE MOVING IN WITH KINDL, WHO GOT DUMPED. TATAR HIT KINDL WITH THE SHOOT IN, WHO STAYED WITH IT. BUT LANDER WILL CLEAR AS TATAR DUMPED HIM. TO THE EDMONTON LINE. TAKEN BY SEKERA.

HE HAD MONDAY ON THE IN THE MIDST OF A CHANGE. FIRED IT IN. YAKUPOV WENT DOWN. EDMONTON FANS WANTED A PENALTY. HERE’S FERENCE WITH A SHOT THAT WAS DEFLECTED HIGH OVER TOP OF THE NET. RED WINGS AND OILERS OPEN THIS BUILDING FOR NHL HOCKEY BACK IN ’79.

GRETZKY HAD AN ASSIST THAT NIGHT. FOLIGNO SCORED HIS FIRST NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE GOAL IN WHO WAS A 3-3 TIE WHEN YOU COULD TIE A GAME BACK THEN. 36 YEARS LATER, THE OILERS WILL OPEN A NEW BUILDING DOWNTOWN. RED WINGS FOLLOW WITH THEIR NEW ARENA LATER. GRYBA.

SHAR ELIE’S FIRST DEAL AFTER HE BECAME GM. TURNED OVER IN THE HIGHWAY SLOT. CHIARELLI USED TO BE AT OTTAWA BEFORE HE WENT ON TO BE GENERAL MANAGER IN BOSTON. AND THE BRUINS HAD TO GIVE UP A THIRD ROUND PICK TO OTTAWA AS COMPENSATION FOR SIGNING CHIARELLI.

AND THAT THIRD PICK WAS GRYBA. THEN CHIARELLI TRADES FOR GRYBA WHEN HE COMES TO EDMONTON. >> Chris: IT COMES FULL CIRCLE. >> Ken: SCHULTZ BACK TO GET IT FOR THE OILERS. FREE AGENT SIGNING IN 2012 BY EDMONTON. THE EDMONTON OILERS STARTED THE SEASON 0-4, BEAT CALGARY 5-2

ANDREW FERENCE PLAYING JUST HIS SECOND. HE WAS THE OILERS CAPTAIN. BUT HE IS NOT GOING TO BE PLAYING A LOT THIS YEAR. HALL, NUGENT HOPKINS — >> Ken: SAN JOSE, SAME THING HAPPENED THERE. >> Ken: HERE A LOT OF PEOPLE THOUGHT McDAVID WAS A LITTLE TOO

YOUNG TO PUT THAT MUCH PRESSURE ON HIM ALREADY. DOESN’T NEED A C ON HIS JERSEY. JUST GO OUT AND PLAY. I ALWAYS THOUGHT THORNTON — HERE COMES DYLAN LARKINS. TWISTING AND ROOM ON THE WING. AND THE SHOT. WIDE OF THE POLE. ZETTERBERG, KLEFBOM. GOD WORK BY THE RED WINGS CAPTAIN.

ZETTERBERG STILL WITH THAT PUCK. AND LARKIN FROM THE STICK. GET IT AWAY FROM McDAVID. LARKIN AND McDAVID TOGETHER. >> Ken: ON SIDES. HALL. IN THE SPOT. TURNING. LETESTU MOVES IT BACK TO THE LINE. 15 TO GO IN THE PERIOD. MRAZEK, NOT ONES, BUT TWICE. ONE LAST SHOT FOR KLEFBOM. NOW FAYNE.

IT WAS BLOCKED AND THE PERIOD COMES TO A >> CONNOR McDAVID SCORED HIS FIRST NHL GOAL HIS THIRD GAME, SAME AS WAYNE GRETSSKI KYI DID. HE SCORED HIS FIRST HOME GOAL MONTH HIS SECOND GAME. >> Chris: VERY SHIFTY YOUNG PLAYER.

TONS OF SPEED BUT PUTS THAT TOGETHER WITH SKILL THAT’S UNMATCHED. AND A GREAT SET OF EYES ON HIM, AND HANDS. THIS GUY CAN SEE THE ICE BETTER THAN MOST PLAYERS IN THE LEAGUE, ESPECIALLY AT 18. AND WOW, WHAT A MOVE. NO A SINGLE GOAL TENDER IN THIS

LEAGUE WOULD HAVE HAD THAT. THIS GUY IS THE TOTAL PACKAGE. AND SHOWING US WHY HE IS AND WAS THE NUMBER ONE DRAFT PICK IN THIS PAST DRAFT. >> Ken: THE OTTERS ARE OUT OF THE GAME AT 9-0. >> Chris: IT’S WEIRD OW THIS GAME WORKS.

LANDER OVER TO GET IT. LAUNCHES THE PUCK ACROSS CENTER. ZETTERBERG BLOCKS IT. TRY THE OTHER WAY FOR KRONWALL. FOR JONATHAN ERICSSON. UP THERE WITH LARKIN AND ABDELKADER, IN AND OUT OF THE GLOVE OF TALBOT. LARKIN BACK TO THE NET. ZETTERBERG WAS OPEN. THE PUCK JUST DIDN’T GET TO HIM ASK.

THE OILERS ARE ALL TRYING TO BREAK FREE. HALL WITH A SHOT. AND A SAVE BY MRAZEK. BACK TO THE LINE FOR KLEFBOM. THAT CONTINUED ERICSSON AND STUNG HIM. LIMPING OFF. ZETTERBERG BRINGS IT TO THE EDGE, AROUND KLEFBOM, HIS COUNTRYMAN. ZETTERBERG STAYING WITH IT. CLEARED. OUT OF PLAY.

AND HE IS GOING TO GET A PENALTY — OR IS HE? I THINK HE IS. I THINK THAT PUCK WENT RIGHT OUT OF PLAY. >> Ken: GET THE $67 FAN PACK TO SEE THE WINGS TAKE ON THE OTTAWA SENATORS FRIDAY OCTOBER 30th FOR HOCKEY FIGHTS CANCER NIGHT.

YOU WILL GET TWO TICKETS, TWO FOOD VOUCHERS AND TWO SOFT DRINKS STARTING AT $67. FOR TICKETS G TO DETROIT RED WINGS.COM. >> Chris: RED WINGS CAME OUT SKATING IN THIS THIRD PERIOD. RED WINGS PUTTING PRESSURE ON KLINKHAMMER WHO SENDS IT HIGH OVER THE GLASS.

>> Chris: THIS IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT TEAM. IT HAS BEEN IN THE PAST. HIGHER DEFENSIVE LEAGUE. TOUGHER IN FRONT OF THE OPPOSITION NET. GOOD PENALTY KILLER, MUCH MORE AGGRESSIVE. >> Ken: TALBOT SAVES AND HE’LL HOLD ON. FROM HERE WE’LL HEAD TO CALGARY

WHERE THE FLAMES OUT OF THE GATE HAVE STRUGGLED AS THE RED WINGS TAKE THEM ON. COVERAGE BEGINS AT 8:30 WITH “RED WINGS LIVE.” THAT’S FRIDAY AT 8:30 ON FOX SPOTS DETROIT. THEY ARE MISSING BRODY ON THE BACK EN. HAMILTON HASN’T SETTLED IN AS

QUICKLY AS THEY THOUGHT HE WOULD. CALGARY OFF TO A 1-5 START. >> Chris: SURPRISED ME. WE THOUGHT THEY WOULD TAKE THE NEXT STEP TO THE NEXT LEVEL. THEY HAVE REASON IS DONE. THAT THEY HAVE TAKEN TWO OR THREE STEPS BACKWARDS AND ARE STRUGGLING. ZERO GOAL TENDING SO FAR.

AROUND TO YAKUPOV. FOR TAYLOR HALL. MRAZEK WILL HOLD IT FOR A FACEOFF COMING UP TO HIS RIGHT. >> Chris: ALMOST THROUGH FIVE MINUTES IN THE THIRD PERIOD. THE RED WINGS PROBABLY WOULD HAVE LOVED TO GET A GOAL, PUT A DEN IN THIS LEAD.

THEY ONLY HAVE 19 SHOTS UP UNTIL NOW. EITHER BLOCKED OR MISSED SHOTS IN TWO PERIODS, 28 TIMES, EITHER A SHOT BLOCKED OR MISSED AT THE NET BY THE RINGS. THEY HAVE GOT MAKE GOOD ON THOSE PASSES. THEY HAVE GOT TO FIND WAYS TO GET PUCKS THROUGH TO DEFENDERS.

>> Ken: RED WINGS DOMINATED THE DRAW ON THE TOO. NOT THIS ONE. KLINKHAMMER TAKEN TO THE BOARDS BY KRONWALL. SKATED OUT OF TROUBLE. HALL GOT KNOCKED OFF STRIDE. NUGENT HOPKINS SHOOTING. SHORT TIED. STOP BY MRAZEK. NUGENT HOPKINS WENT DOWN. RINK-WIDE PASS. TATAR LEVITY THERE. STREE HAND A SHOT. HELD.

THEY WANT TO MAKE GOOD AND GET BACK IN THIS HOCKEY GAME. >> Ken: 28 MISSED ATTEMPTS THROUGH 40 MINUTES. JUST SHOT ONE WIDE THERE. ABDELKADER, FRONT AND CENTER. >> Chris: I WONDER IF THAT HAS TO DO WITH BOTH THESE GOALS BEING TOO BIG.

THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR WHEN THE MOTHERS WILL GO WITH THE RED WINGS. >> Chris: THEY HAD A WIVES OR GIRLFRIENDS. I REMEMBER THAT. THERE IS GOING TO BE SOME DISAPPOINTED FATHERS. THAT’S THE TRIP OF THE YEAR FOR A LOT OF THOSE GUYS.

>> Ken: THEY WILL GET THEIR TURN DOWN THE ROAD. SPEAKING OF TRIPS. >> Ken: THE EDMONTON OLERS WITH FIVE CUPS. THEY STOPPED THE ISLANDERS WHO HAD WON FOUR IN A ROW. THE EDMONTON OILERS, THEIR LAST YEAR IN THIS BUILDING. AS THE STORY GOES, WHEN THEY

LOST TO THE ISLANDERS THE YEAR PREVIOUS TO WINNING THIS CUP IT WAS GETSKI WHO WALKED PAST THE ROOM AND SAW SAW BEAT UP THEY WERE. AND THEY GOT TO THEM. >> Ken: NICE CODRAG THERE BY POULIOT. CONNOR McDAVID COULDN’T GET PAST THERE. A SHOT AND MRAZEK HOLDS.

HE GETS REWARDED NICELY WITH THE SHOT THROUGH. NICE JOB. THE DRIV TO THE OILER NET. THERE WERE TIMES EARLIER WHERE HE DIDN’T GO TO THE NET. WENT TO THE CORNER. HERE HE GOES TO THE GOAL, GETS REWARDED, JUMPS ON THE LOOSE PUCK AND BURIES IT.

>> Ken: HE SPOKE WITH JOHN KEATING IN OUR OPEN TONIGHT. DIDN’T SEEM ALL THAT CONCERN. ADS YOU MENTIONED ONE PO A GOAL HIS FIRST NINE GAMES A SEASON AGO. JUST ONE IN HIS FIRST SIX THIS YEAR. HERE’S TATAR AGAIN. COULDN’T KEEP IT IN. STREE HAND. PUTS IT THROUGH.

NYQUIST GETS THE LONE HELPER ON THE GOAL BY TATAR TO MAKE IT 3-1. TAYLOR HALL, TURNED BACK BY NYQUIST. TAYLOR HALL, TO CENTER. HENRICK ZETTERBERG, ROLLING PUCK. COULDN’T GET IT. LARKIN FOR ABDELKADER. DID WELL JUST TO KEEP CONTROL OF IT TO CENTER ICE. AND GREEN WILL FIRE IT IN.
