THURSDAY's ACTION:Andrew Copp, Dylan Larkin connect for Detroit Red Wings in 3-1 W over Washington Capitals
Game notes: Unlike the 1997 and 1998 Stanley Cups, Wings fans won’t have to wait a full year between celebrations, as the franchise is honoring the 1997-98 squad that broke the franchise’s EPIC 374-day Cup drought 25 years ago this season before Saturday’s visit from the New York Islanders.
There’ll be another former Wing in the house, though he was gone well before the Wings raised either of their 90s Cups: Lane Lambert, once Steve Yzerman’s roommate (at Riverfront Towers, of course) and now the coach on Long Island.
