Oh look, it’s the Red Wings playing the best team in hockey on ESPN+. Again. Very frequently this season, we’ve seen Red Wings vs Panthers on national TV and every time, the win has gone to the Panthers. Most recently, the Panthers destroyed the Wings 6-1 just four days prior thanks to an explosive four-goal second period.
The Panthers are the hottest team in hockey riding an 11-game win streak as well as a nine-game home win streak dating back to February. The Red Wings, meanwhile are coming off their first-ever regular-season win over Andrei Vasilevskiy as they beat the Lighting 4-3 IN FLORIDA in their first game without captain Dylan Larkin.
