Coming off of a heart-breaking season-opener at Little Caesars Arena, the Red Wings bounced back against the Vancouver Canucks in a gritty, spirited skirmish Saturday night. They won 3-1, mostly on the back of goaltender Thomas Greiss.
Vancouver opened the game with momentum, but it didn’t take long for the Red Wings to establish themselves with a goal from Robby Fabbri, the interim 1st-line center in the absence of Dylan Larkin while he serves a one-game suspension for defending himself.
Credit to Gustav Lindstrom for making a smooth backhand pass to Marc Staal which setup the scoring chance.
