Detroit — The Red Wings and Vancouver Canucks will reacquaint themselves tonight — just as many other teams around the NHL are doing, and will need to do, as the season progresses.
The Red Wings and Canucks will play Saturday for the first time since Oct. 22, 2019, a game at Little Caesars Arena the Canucks won 5-2 (it was the second time in a week they'd met, Vancouver also winning the first game).
The pandemic cut short that season, then last season teams only played the other squads in their division.
So it will be basically two full calendar years between games against each other for the Wings and Canucks.
