Detroit Red Wings (27-18-6, Fifth in Atlantic, WC2) HC: Derek Lalonde Top Performers: Dylan Larkin (23-24-47 –6); Alex DeBrincat (19-26-45); Lucas Raymond (14-28-42 –15); Daniel Sprong (14-20-34 +2); Shayne Gostisbehere (7-25-32 –21); J.T. Compher 11-19-30 –1); Moritz Seider (6-21-27 -2); David Perron (11-15-26 –12); Michael Rasmussen 11-12-23 +14); Patrick Kane (21 GP, 8-11-19 –4)
DET Developments: Healthy now. Had a long break with the first game back being a 4-3 OT comeback over VAN with The Griddy penalty shot from Walman. 7-2-1 in the last 10. Start a four-game stand with the Canadian Road Trip and finish off the journey at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle. It will not be easy. We will have the Thurs rematch against VAN as a trio. If DET gets four points between EDM and VAN twice, a playoff team most likely. It was McDavid with the first six assist game of his career and the Oilers score five times in the third period to beat the Red Wings 8-4. Now Husso hurt again after his first start back, Robby Fabbri out for personal reasons.
Vancouver Canucks (36-12-6, First in Pacific) HC: Rick Tocchet Top Performers: Elias Pettersson (28-41-69 +15); J.T. Miller (23-46-69 +22); Quinn Hughes (12-54-66 +36); Brock Boeser (30-24-54 +19); Filip Hronek (4-37-41 +37); Conor Garland (11-16-27 +14); Dakota Joshua (13-13-26 +16); Elias Lindholm (11-24-35 –11, (5 GP, 2-1-3 –3 since trade from CGY)
VAN Developments: 7-1-2 in the last 10. Have rebounded from a 4-0 loss to BOS. Last meeting of the season was Saturday where Walman did the Griddy on an overtime penalty shot. Do the Canucks bludgeon the Red Wings here? I’m getting mentally prepared for it. Upcoming for VAN is playing at Rogers Arena through almost all of March. From MAR 9-31. 9-game homestand.
Goaltending Matchup: Alex Lyon (14-7-2, 2.76 GAA, .915 SV, 2 SO) vs. Thatcher Demko (29-9-1, 2.44 GAA, .918 SV, 5 SO)
