Video: Oilers’ Petry (accidentally) scores for Red Wings

Oilers-Wings

It’s hard to think of a worse feeling than accidentally scoring a goal on your own team.

Edmonton Oilers defenseman Jeff Petry knows the feeling. With his team on the penalty kill and leading the Detroit by a goal late in the third period of Friday’s game, Petry inadvertently banged a rebound past his own goalie, Devan Dubnyk, after a point shot from Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall.

It appeared as though Petry was trying to clear the rebound away from the front of the net. Instead, he put the puck in the back of the net.

The goal, credited to Kronwall, tied the game at 2-2. The Red Wings, who trailed by a pair of goals heading into the third period, eventually won 3-2 in overtime on a goal from Pavel Datsyuk.
