Patrick O'Sullivan beat Jimmy Howard with a wrist shot in the third round of a shootout, and Nikolai Khabibulin stopped Henrik Zetterberg on Detroit's final attempt to give the Edmonton Oilers a 6-5 victory Thursday night.
The Red Wings overcame a 5-1 deficit to force overtime.
Zetterberg started the rally midway through the second period, and Jonathan Ericsson, Todd Bertuzzi and Patrick Eaves had third-period goals. Darren Helm also scored for the Red Wings.
Ales Hemsky had two goals and an assist for Edmonton. Linemate Dustin Penner had a goal - his ninth of the season - and three assists, and Shawn Horcoff had a goal and two assists. Jean-Francois Jacques also scored.
Edmonton snapped a three-game losing streak to improve to 7-5-1, while Detroit dropped to 4-4-3 with its fourth loss in five games.
Detroit outshot Edmonton 20-6 in the third period, with Eaves tying it a 5 with 7:07 remaining.
NOTES: Helm's goal was his first in regular-season play. He has six goals in the playoffs. ... Horcoff entered the game with only three points and had been shut out in his last seven games.
