Red Wings and Stars November 18

By AJ Petronzi

Tonight the Dallas Stars come into Detroit to play the Red Wings. It is the first meeting of these teams this season.

Detroit comes into tonight on a three game win streak, coming off a 7-4 victory Saturday against Anaheim. Wings forward Henrik Zetterberg has four goals and nine points in his last three games. Jimmy Howard will be starting for the Wings in goal. Howard has been in goal for all three of the Wings victories in this streak. Wings goalie Chris Osgood is still suffering from the flu. Marty Turco will start in goal for Dallas.

Detroit will need to continue with their offensive dominance that has been the characteristic of their recent success. Against Columbus and Anaheim the Wings looked as they did last season. With Howard struggling like he did against Anaheim, Detroit will need to have their offensive game going if they are going to continue their win streak to four.
