After a rough start on the road, the Detroit Red Wings have to feel good about playing a game in front of the hometown folks. The Wings are 0-2 on the young season after falling to the Tampa Bay Lightning and Florida Panthers. Sure, that is not the ideal way to get things going, however, a win tonight would not only right the ship but bring some long needed confidence to this young squad – especially against a red hot Ottawa club.
According to a CBS Sports report, the Senators are 2-0-0 on the year after defeating the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-4 in overtime on Wednesday night, followed by a 4-3 shootout win over the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday.
