DETROIT — The Detroit Red Wings came out of the All-Star break Tuesday searching for a victory to begin a needed win streak.
They're still looking, as the Edmonton Oilers defeated the Wings 5-2 in the first hockey for either team after a 10-day All-Star break.
Edmonton's Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored his 23rd goal, on the power play, at 15:38 of the third period, giving Edmonton a 4-2 lead and Evander Kane (shorthanded) scored his seventh into an empty net at 17:33 to clinch the outcome.
