Detroit (43-20-8) @ Nashville (36-25-10)
The Red Wings, who have found themselves on the right side of the scoreboard recently, look to keep with the pattern of success when they visit the Predators. Jimmy Howard, who is currently tied for the lead in goaltender wins with Carey Price at 34, will get the nod this evening.
In related news, it seems my man Pavel Datsyuk will be missing tonight's game, which saddens me like the loss of a firstborn child.* I always hate seeing Dats miss time, not only because of how good he is by himself, but how much he helps improve the team as a whole.
*(Merely being jovial, apologies to anyone who has lost a firstborn son.)
Also, it's been confirmed that Johan Franzen will also miss tonight's game due to "wear and tear".
Hopefully there's still plenty of spark in the Wings who remain healthy, we need to keep this run going!
Enjoy the game, Wingnuts! Let's Go Red Wings!!
