NHL Note - Detroit Red Wings Nielsen, Frans

Nov 6, 2017 - 8:03 AM C Frans Nielsen celebrated his 700th NHL game with an audacious tip-in goal on a point shot from Nick Jensen to open the scoring 3:23 into the first period. Nielsen was out by the faceoff dot and tipped a puck that was wide of the net and sent it flying over the shoulder of Oilers G Cam Talbot.

"I didn't even know it went in," Nielsen said. "So I guess you can call it lucky. ... It was a big goal, you don't want to get behind in this building. It was good to see it go in."
