Detroit comes off a weekend of losses in games where they at least competed better than in the butt-whoopin’ they took against the Islanders. Two games before the All-Star break. Let’s get the Monday matinee on.
Filppula and Nielsen are in today. Ehn is out (up is down) and Perlini is in.
The first thing you notice turning into this game is that the mixture of red and black in the stands looks extremely familiar.
The second thing you notice is an Avalanche scoring opportunity.
Alas, the Wings survive the first two minutes and start to play hockey.
