ESPN+ only game so no Ken and Mick tonight gang.
Who remembered Joe Thornton was on the Panthers? Not me.
First Period
Larkin and Bertuzzi making trouble on their first shift forcing Bobrovsky to be awake and alert. Ned has to make a big save of his own after a defensive hiccup by Staal and Zadina, sort of, but the Wings overall doing a good job these first few minutes. Winning faceoffs. What a revelation.
The first five minutes of the game was noticeably slow now that the pace has picked up. Ned and Bob have both had to be on their toes.
