Detroit Red Wings beat San Jose Sharks as Lucas Raymond scores shootout’s only goal

First-period power-play goals

Justin Faulk opened the scoring for Detroit on a first-period power play. His shot from the point beat San Jose goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic, giving the Red Wings the first lead of the game.

San Jose answered with 2:01 remaining in the period when Dmitry Orlov scored from the point on a power play. Ben Chiarot was serving a holding penalty, and Stenberg and Celebrini assisted the equalizer.

Celebrini puts San Jose ahead

Macklin Celebrini gave the Sharks a 2–1 lead at 4:55 of the second period after William Wallinder turned the puck over in Detroit’s defensive zone.

Celebrini completed a three-way passing move with a one-timer over John Gibson’s glove.

Both teams subsequently killed two penalties apiece during the second period.

Detroit erases two-goal deficit

Ivar Stenberg extended San Jose’s advantage to 3–1 at 2:48 of the third period. With Andreas Englund serving a tripping penalty, Stenberg finished Alexander Wennberg’s feed in front for a power-play goal.

Emmitt Finnie supplied Detroit’s next goal, bringing the Red Wings within one. Positioned beside the crease, he tapped Michael Brandsegg-Nygård’s shot-pass into the net to reduce the deficit to 3–2.

After Gibson left for an extra skater, Alex DeBrincat equalized with 1:33 remaining. Detroit then killed an Andrew Copp penalty in overtime to reach the shootout.

Raymond and Gibson settle shootout

Lucas Raymond supplied the shootout’s only goal, making his conversion the difference after neither team broke the tie in overtime. Gibson denied all three San Jose takers: Will Smith, Celebrini and Stenberg. At the other end, Nedeljkovic stopped DeBrincat and Brandsegg-Nygård, but Raymond’s successful attempt completed Detroit’s recovery from a two-goal third-period deficit.
