#RedWings lines at skate:
Helm-Larkin-Mantha
Nyquist-de la Rose-Rasmussen
Abdelkader-Glendening-Bertuzzi
Nielsen-Megan-Frk
Athanasiou (leg injury) not skating.
defense pairs:
Cholowski-Green
Ericsson-Daley
Kronwall-Jensen
DeKeyser (injured)-Witkowski
Howard Starts.
Looks like #RedWings will go with 11 forwards and seven defensemen. Nielsen on the wing appears to indicate he’s filling in and not ready. Witkowski likely to dress as seventh D since it doesn’t look like DeKeyser is ready

i keep expecting Hicketts to be in as the 7th D....
just to realize that he's been sent to GR not too long ago..
i was caught off guard !
i guess things Don't change, Don't they ?....let's keep Wit, a useless extra, and send Hicketts down…
and i heard that Sulak looks great in GR
Thank God Cholo was great otherwise he'd be in GR too… for KH ANY vet is Always better than a prospect who needs to play to get better.

A winning streak? Love the Wings but it really sucks these days. Want to see the players improve but want the team to lose. Just not fun. Exact same with my Detroit Tigers. Everyone here want the Wings to win tonight??? I am completely torn. Want them to contend for ONE more Cup in my lifetime and not just contend for a playoff spot. I just need to keep reminding myself its just a game and enjoy it for what it is. Cant do that as of yet.

I always want to win and not for intentional tanking just to get in the draft lottery. Having said that I won't shed a tear if we lose  We have a lot of young guys early in their NHL careers, losing isn't fun hockey and you can pick up some bad habits always and cause confidence issues. We could probably improve with a new coach |

I Don't want to see this team loses if we get the 10th pick because of a stupid lottery. The puck never bounces for us...i Don't expect a lottery ball to do better ! So Go Wings ! lets shock the world by winning again tonight... |

Good first - a lot of confidence showing in the team. Maybe Vegas was wrong about us, eh, Dick?

Glendenning played a helluva game, nice fight which for me was the turning point of the game. Winning streak at 3  We played pretty tight. Special teams freak show tonight, 2 power play goals and 2 shorties. Nice to see some puck luck with the empty netters. |

Mantha's best game of the season.
i didnt like the third Devils goal. Shouldn't have counted.
Other than that the intensity was there and for a change Mantha played the kind of hockey i like. Maybe its Larks influence ??
Howard played very well, maybe not so good on the second goal. Yeah their was a screen but i though he could have fought harder the find the puck, he sets and pray...not good.
Nobody can convince me that we need to see Abby 20min on the ice. That's what he logged tonight, nonsense.
Ras is getting more confident by the minutes…
Larks is a beast, frk played well.
Its 3 in a row folks !!

They played very structured tonight. Actually looked like a well coached team. And we were missing the whole second line.
Larkin is everywhere.
