Big hits, timely goals and a dose of energy. The Detroit Red Wings have a fourth line that is doing damage.

The Wings head off to Western Canada coming off a loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, but they should be buoyed by the play of Jacob de la Rose, Justin Abdelkader and Darren Helm. The trio has combined for three goals and four assists through five games, providing a spark with timely scoring and physical play.
