The Detroit Red Wings will play the Anaheim Ducks today at Joe Louis Arena.
The Red Wings are coming off of back to back wins. In those two games the Wings have scored 12 goals. Niklas Kronwall has three goals and an assist in his last two games. On Thursday, Tomas Holmstrom and Henrik Zetterberg scored goals, both had been held goalless in Detroit’s 9-1 win on Wednesday.
Anaheim comes into Detroit off of a shootout loss in Columbus on Friday. The Ducks are 2-2-2 since loosing four games of a six game home stretch in the end of October.
This is the first meeting between the Wings and Ducks this season. The Ducks have struggled without Chris Pronger, who was traded over the summer to the Flyers. Detroit will need to get pucks on net if they plan on winning. The Ducks are hurting defensively and are involved with a goalie crisis with Jean-Sebastien Giguere threatening to walk out if he’s not the starter, putting Jonas Hiller under a lot of pressure to maintain his starting position. It is likely Hiller will start as Giguere played Friday. Anaheim is also not well rested having played to a shootout Friday.
