DETROIT – Dylan Larkin became the Detroit Red Wings’ all-time leader in games played by an American-born player on Sunday, and he celebrated in style.
Larkin scored a pair of goals and assisted both of Emmitt Finnie’s goals – the first two of his career -- in a 4-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers at Little Caesars Arena.
The Red Wings (5-1-0) have won five in a row, all against top competition.
John Gibson made 16 saves for back-to-back wins.
The Red Wings held superstar Connor McDavid off the scoring sheet and the Oilers dropped to 2-3-1.
Larkin has recorded at least one point in each of the first six games and has 11 points (five goals, six assists).
The Red Wings protected a one-goal lead after Leon Draistail scored at 7:33 of the third period to cut Edmonton’s deficit to 3-2.
