DETROIT -- Connor McDavid didnt need a shot on goal Sunday night to deliver for the Pacific Division-leading Edmonton Oilers.McDavid perfectly set up Ryan Nugent-Hopkins for a go-ahead goal late in the second period, giving Edmonton a 2-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings.On a night where the team was more important than the individual and Connor was a little bit quiet, he still found a way to have an impact on maybe the most important play of the game, Oilers coach Todd McLellan said. A lot of guys wouldve shot that puck. He had enough patience to find Nugent for a wide-open goal.McDavid made the goal happen, starting with a faceoff he won in the left circle. After the draw, the 19-year-old center skated toward the net before subtly finding a spot on the bottom of the right circle. McDavid got the puck back, drew three Detroit players, and threaded a pass between two of them to Nugent-Hopkins on the inside of the left circle, where he shot into an empty net.If that pass gets picked off or knocked down, were having a different debate on why I didnt shoot it, McDavid said. I saw a play. Lucky it worked out.McDavid has five goals and nine assists in 13 games in his second NHL season, and his skill seems a bigger factor than good fortune.He made a great play, said Detroits Justin Abdelkader, who scored his teams only goal. He froze everyone.Edmontons Tyler Pitlick scored a tying goal late in the first period on a wraparound and Jonas Gustavsson made 22 saves, helping hold off his former teammates with a one-goal lead in the final period.We played real well, especially in the third, Gustavsson said. We didnt open up, kept it real simple and didnt give them a lot of chances to tie it up. We played a real mature period.The Oilers have won two straight, playing their first set of back-to-back games this season, after losing three in a row.Abdelkader put the Red Wings up 1-0 midway through the first period on a power play, making them the first team to score with an extra skater at home against the Oilers, who rank among the NHL leaders in penalty killing.Jimmy Howard made 26 saves for the Red Wings, who have has lost five straight after winning six consecutive games.We got off to a good start and got the lead, but then we spent too much time outside, Red Wings captain Henrik Zetterberg said.Detroit pulled Howard with a minute left and a faceoff in the Edmonton end but couldnt score to send the game to overtime.There are too many times where we are passing up shots and trying to take an extra pass, Abdelkader said. Sometimes, the best play in hockey is putting the puck on the net.Game notes Gustavsson, a former Red Wing, played in just his second game this season to give Cam Talbot a break. ...

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick wasnt the only person in the New York Jets organization who exhaled when his contract dispute was resolved at the start of training camp.So did the man on the other side of the bargaining table.For a night, I felt a big sigh of relief, general manager Mike Maccagnan said Friday, speaking to reporters for the first time since the draft. And then it was back to work.The two sides broke a six-month stalemate on Wednesday evening, with Fitzpatrick agreeing to a contract that will pay him $12 million this season. Technically, its a two-year deal, but it will void after the season, making him a free agent again.Maccagnan declined to delve into the specifics of the negotiations, and he wouldnt address Fitzpatricks comment about being offended by the teams initial offer -- three years, $24 million.The deal is done; were very happy with it, he said. Were happy we have Fitz back. I just want to go forward with this whole thing and get the team ready to play. We said all along we want to get Ryan back in the organization. It took a long time to get to the end, but thats what we felt comfortable with at the end.The Jets gave Fitzpatrick a deadline for 7 p.m. Wednesday, when players reported for the first team meeting. Maccagnan said that was the demarcation point to get something done.It was a busy two weeks for the second-year general manager, who signed Pro Bowl defensive end Muuhammad Wilkerson to a five-year, $86 million contract on July 15 -- the last day a player with the franchise tag could sign a long-term deal.dddddddddddd It lowered Wilkersons cap charge, from $15.7 million (the franchise tender) to $10 million, which gave them flexibility with the structure of the Fitzpatrick deal, Maccagnan said.Another big contract is looming on the horizon -- defensive end Sheldon Richardson, who is signed through 2017. If Richardson has a strong campaign in 2016, he could demand a new deal next offseason.[Wilkersons contract] doesnt preclude us from doing something with Sheldon going forward, Maccagnan said.The general manager touched on a number of topics during a session with beat writers. He all but assured Geno Smith a spot on the 53-man roster, adding that he and the coaches havent dismissed the possibility of keeping four quarterbacks. Smith, Bryce Petty and rookie Christian Hackenberg would serve as Fitzpatricks backups.In the first year of the Maccagnan-Todd Bowles regime, the Jets finished 10-6, blowing a wild-card spot in Week 17.Despite the near-playoff season, Maccagnan wouldnt attach any lofty expectations to the coming season.I wouldnt say playoffs or bust, he said. I mean, I know everybody probably wants that quote, but were working one week at a time.
