When: 5 p.m. tonight.
Where: Little Caesars Arena.
TV: Fox Sports Detroit, NHLN.
Radio: 97.1 FM (Red Wings radio affiliates).
Capital time: This is the Wings’ third and last chance to make a dent in the defending Stanley Cup champions. The Wings lost, 3-1, at Washington the day after Thanksgiving and, 6-2, in December on the second of a back-to-back. The Wings are playing well coming into today’s contest – they delivered a confidence-boosting victory Friday against the Predators, and have done a good job being competitive in eight of the last nine periods.
