Red Wings defeat Oilers

Mikael Samuelsson had a goal and an assist to lift the Detroit Red Wings to a 4-2 win over the visiting Edmonton Oilers on Monday night.

Chris Chelios, Tomas Holmstrom and Kris Draper also scored for Detroit. Nicklas Lidstrom and Henrik Zetterberg each had two assists.

Chelios, the NHL's oldest player at 45, skated in his 1,550th game, breaking a tie with Hall of Famer Alex Delvecchio to move into eighth place on the career list.

Dominik Hasek made 18 saves for the Red Wings, while Shawn Horcoff and Andrew Cogliano scored Edmonton's goals.

Capitas 2, Islanders 1: Olie Kolzig stopped 30 shots in yet another impressive performance, and Brooks Laich snapped a third-period tie to lift the undefeated Washington over host New York.

The Capitals improved to 3-0 for the first time since the 2002-03 season despite being outshot 31-12.

Senators 4, Devils 2: Daniel Alfredsson got his second assist on Wade Redden's power-play goal 5:33 into the third period before he scored into an empty net to lead Ottawa past visiting New Jersey.

Jason Spezza also got his second assist of the game as Redden put the Senators up 3-1, though only after a video review clearly showed that the puck had crossed the goal line before it was swiped away by Devils defenseman Vitaly Vishnevski.
