That certainly isn't how the Detroit Red Wings drew up their power play.

After Columbus Blue Jackets forward Sam Gagner was dinged for tripping early in the first period Friday, putting Detroit on the man advantage, the Red Wings had a golden opportunity to grab a quick lead over the red-hot Blue Jackets. Except the opposite happened.

Beginning in his own zone, Blue Jackets winger Cam Atkinson blazed into the Red Wings' end on a 2-on-1 alongside linemate Brandon Dubinsky, before firing a clean shot top corner on Red Wings goalie Petr Mrazek.

The tally marked Atkinson's ninth goal of the season.
