HURRICANES (8-9-4) at RED WINGS (9-6-7)

Last 10: Carolina 4-5-1; Detroit 3-2-5

This is the 2nd game of a 3 game season series in which the Wings beat the Canes 3-2 on 10/4/13 by an OT goal scored by Weiss! :yahoo:

Injuries:
Canes:
Pitkanen (heel), Semin (concussion) and Khodobin (lower body) are on IR; Westgarth (upper body) and Hainsey (flu) are both questionable.
Wings: DeKeyser (sprained left shoulder) is on long-term IR, Weiss (groin) is on IR, Alffie (groin) missed Tuesday's game.

Team Stats:
Canes:
GP 21, Away 3-5, G/G 1.86, GA/G 2.67, PP% 12.5, PK% 79.7, PIM/G 9, S/G 29, SA/G 30.8, FO% 51

Wings: GP 22, Home 3-3-6, G/G 2.46, GA/G 2.64, PP% 20.9, PK% 85.9, PIM/G 9, S/G 30.1, SA/G 30.8, FO% 51.8

Coach Babcock stated after practice on Wednesday that he is considering splitting up linemates Datsyuk and Zetterberg. Zett leads the team with 23 points followed by Pavel's 22.

Ward is expected to start against the Wings, he is only 1-4-1 with a 2.99 GAA in his 6 career games against the Wings! Canes have lost 5 straight on the road!

This may be the game that rights the Wings at home! The Wings hopefully will break the 8 game losing streak at home tonight when the puck drops at the Joe! Game is slated for 7:30pm tonight!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :yahoo: :clap: :suds:

I_Shall's prediction: 4-1 Wings at the Joe

Wings won thanks in help to Nyquist who we should have called up long ago.

Nyquist MIGHT be of some help to the Dead Wings, BUT don't bank on this Brunner type being any help. Howard is NOTHING more than average, only ONE line can score and redmond and daniels suck.

NO NEW ARENA from my tax dollars.
