NHL Updates: Zach Hyman powers Edmonton Oilers past Detroit Red Wings with Hat Trick Performance
Edmonton Oilers stunned the in-form Detroit Red Wings with a dominant performance, largely thanks to Zach Hyman's hat-trick and Connor McDavid's four
A gametime decision, Simon Edvinsson scored the Detroit Red Wings' lone goal in a 4-1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers.
But after bottoming out in Yzerman’s first season with a .275 points percentage, the Red Wings slowly rose over the next four seasons: .429, .451, .488, .555. They took a step back last season at .524, and now they’re at .583.
The question was asked of coach Todd McLellan after Wednesday's victory in Calgary, after another standout game from forward Alex DeBrincat.
The Grand Rapids Griffins have put together the one of the best starts in AHL history, which is an encouraging sign for the Red Wings.
Alex DeBrincat scored twice and Patrick Kane had a pair of assists as the Wings beat the Flames, 4-3, on Wednesday in Calgary.
Montreal also recalled defenseman Adam Engstrom and forward Owen Beck from Laval. Engstrom, 22, has 16 points (five goals, 11 assists) in 20 games with Laval. Montreal chose him in the third round (No. 92) in the 2022 draft. Beck, 21, taken in the second round (No. 33) of the 2022 NHL Draft, has 11 points (three goals, eight assists) in 22 games.
Former Detroit Red Wings forward Robby Fabbri, who wasn't able to earn a roster spot with the Pittsburgh Penguins earlier in the fall, has returned to the St. Louis Blues.
