Tonight’s game will be between the San Jose Sharks and the Detroit Red Wings. Every fan in attendance will receive a Budd Lynch bobblehead at the game as the Wings will be celebrating the 60 years Lynch has worked for the organization.
San Jose has won their last six games coming into tonight. The Wings have only won their last two, but goalie Chris Osgood only allowed 1 goal in those two games. San Jose goalie Evgeni Nabokov was named the NHL’s third star for last week. Dany Heatley, who demanded to be traded from Ottawa in the summer, has seemed much more at home in San Jose and has 2 goals and an assist in his last 3 games.
Detroit will need the goaltending of Chris Osgood to be as good as it has the last two games if they are going to stand a chance against San Jose. While the Sharks gave away some offense in the Heatley trade, they have no shortages of goals and Nabokov will make scoring difficult. The Wings will also need to play the body like they did against Boston on Tuesday and block shots if they want to have their first three game win streak of the season.
