6:42: Shots are now 16-14 for the Red Wings.

12:19: Shots are now 14-11 for the Red Wings.
15:56: Mrazek has to be sharp in turning away a quick wrist shot from Yamamoto after the Oilers rookie one-timed a slick feed from Nugent-Hopkins at the left circle to complete a give-and-go.
Nifty give & go by @kailer_yamamoto & @RNH_93 but Mrazek denies the #Oilers rookie as he guns for his 1st @NHL goal. #LetsGoOilers
