Postava earns first NHL win as Red Wings rally past Oilers

Michal Postava turned his first NHL start into a victory on Monday, making 25 saves before denying all three Edmonton Oilers attempts in the shootout. The Detroit Red Wings won 4-3 at Rogers Place after twice recovering from a one-goal deficit in the third period.

Lucas Raymond scored the only goal of the shootout. Postava stopped all three Edmonton shooters, Connor McDavid among them, to finish the win.

Dylan Larkin kept Detroit alive by tying it 3-3 in the final two minutes of regulation while Postava was on the bench for an extra attacker.

The 24-year-old Postava was playing his second NHL game. His debut came in relief of John Gibson during Thursday’s 5-2 victory over Vancouver.

Viktor Arvidsson and Emmitt Finnie also scored for Detroit. Vasily Podkolzin and Isaac Howard also scored for Edmonton, and Tristan Jarry finished with 26 saves. Colton Dach had a goal and an assist for the Oilers, tipping Ryan Shea’s point shot past Postava at 16:32 of the third for his first goal of the season and a 3-2 lead.

Raymond contributed two assists in regulation. McDavid had an assist, extending his point streak to 12 games from the start of the season.
