Red Wings powerplay gets boost from Djoos in 5-3 win over Blackhawks

No Larkin tonight or tomorrow, sorry gang :(

EVGENY SVECHNIKOV IS IN. Playing on a line with Nielsen and Filppula.

First Period

Not much to report the first few minutes, it’s pretty chippy out there, lots of back and forth without much real passing. Five minutes in and Bernier is starting to get busy but still no real close calls. The Wings are just exploring the space and getting the vibe before they decide how to set up some shots.

Closing in on the 10 minute mark and Bernier is starting to consider penning a strongly worded letter to the rest of the team about puck control.
