The big story going into tonight was the return of Anthony Mantha who is like “yeah, punching is something I would do again” so countdown to his next broken hand starts now.
Onto the recap...
First Period
We kick things off with Witkowski fighting Watson at 1:35 into the period. They both seemed to have fun and left laughing, and we know hockey is all about the friends you met along the way.
Wings moving the puck well and spending lots of time in the Preds end, we take a quick break for stick taps to Vanek for his 1,000th game and we’re off again.
