Emmitt Finnie, the 20-year-old forward for the Detroit Red Wings, scored his first NHL goal against the Edmonton Oilers. Late in the second period of a 4–2 victory, he jumped on a rebound off a shot from defenseman Jacob Bernard-Docker and tucked it past the goalie. Finnie would later seal the win with an empty-net goal, and with an assist earlier in the game, he finished with three points to earn first star honors in a standout performance.
