Detroit Red Wings Rematch Dallas Stars

By AJ Petronzi

After a 3-2 loss to Dallas less than two weeks ago in Detroit, the Red Wings are looking for a win tonight against Dallas.

Dallas recently got two forwards back from injuries and is now healthy; the Wings are two to three months away from being healthy. The Wings have struggled as of late with scoring, having been shut out in its last two games at home. However, coming off a last minute goal and a shootout win in St. Louis, the Wings hope that scoring momentum will swing their way.

One of the issues facing Detroit has been the play of backup goalies. Starting with Dallas two weeks ago, Detroit has been beaten by backups, all of which registered higher than a 92% save percentage in the games they played. Wings’ forward Brad May scored his first goal of the season in the last game against Dallas, but it was called back. With May’s birthday being yesterday, he’ll be looking for a goal as a gift to himself tonight.
