Detroit — Center Michael Rasmussen, who is battling to make the Detroit Red Wings roster one year after being drafted in the first round, scored the winner at 1:32 of overtime, tapping in a feed from Dylan Larkin on the power play for a 3-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday.

A Pittsburgh delay-of-game penalty with 30 seconds left in regulation gave the Red Wings the power play. The goal was Rasmussen's first of the preseason.
