Alex DeBrincat scored his second goal of the night with 4:18 into overtime and the Detroit Red Wings edged the Vancouver Canucks 3-2 on Sunday night.

This was a game that the Canucks dominated from an analytics perspective. At even strength, they held a 30-15 scoring chances advantage while also winning the high-danger scoring chances battle 14-2. In the end, though, they weren't able to capitalize on their opportunities as they ended up falling once again in overtime.

Elias Pettersson is often the straw that stirs the drink for the Canucks, and our NHL picks expect him to be at his best against the Red Wings tonight. The Vancouver Canucks appear to be moving in the right direction. They’ve won three of their past four games, with a road date against the powerhouse Stars serving as the lone blemish in that span.
