Detroit’s Power Play Units

from Dana Wakiji of the Wings' website,

The Wings are doing a few different things with their power-play units.

Anthony Mantha is with Henrik Zetterberg, Gustav Nyquist, Justin Abdelkader and Niklas Kronwall but Abdelkader is serving as the net-front guy.

"I've been reticent to move Anthony off the net because I wanted to make sure we trained him to be a good net-front presence, not just on the PP, but 5-on-5," Blashill said. "I think he's done a pretty good job of that. He leads us in power-play goals and I think he's probably learned somewhat that you get some free goals if you're in front of the net, it's an easy way to get free goals.
