Detroit Red Wings at New York Rangers, Dec 6, 2009 6:00 PM CST
The day after losing to the New Jersey Devils 4-3 in a shootout in Newark, the Detroit Red Wings will head to the other side of the Hudson to take on the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden.
The Rangers come home after beating the Buffalo Sabres 2-1 in Buffalo last night, as Marian Gaborik and Christopher Higgins scored for New York. Henrik Lundqvist had a sparking game, stopping 36 shots.
The Red Wings came back from 2-0 and 3-1 against the Devils on a multi-point game from Patrick Eaves and goals from Kris Draper and Tomas Holmstrom (his 200th career goal). Detroit is extremely banged up: Brian Rafalsi remains out with a back injury on top of the parade of others out. Pavel Datsuyk is tied for third in the NHL with 32 takeaways.
For another view of the game, visit Blueshirt Banter. The game is on FS Detroit and MSG, with a puck drop of 7:00. See you then!

Sorry I'm late
Whack penalty on a great play by Abdelkader. And do mine eyes deceive me or is Ville Leino the odd man out – in favor of May and Miller?

Funny to hear Ken and Mickey try to dance around Sean Avery's past...
…and not mention his Red Wings past.
Two great chances for the Wings!
Bertuzzi and Datsuyk! That puck was lying there and Lundqvist didn’t know it.

You know it's a good stretch...
…when your announcer has to remind you that your team isn’t on a power play.

Totally
Nothing Howard could do on the re-direct, but a disheartening goal nonetheless.

You could have a helluva old timers team in the building tonight!
Shanahan, Messier, Leech…I’d take them over at least a third of the teams in the league right now!
DET GOAL: Datsuyk (7) (Zetterberg, Lidstrom) 11:59
Zettererg dumps it in, Lundqvist makes the stop, but the rebound just dribbles out there and Pavel puts it in the back of the net! Tie game!

Brad Stuart just laid out Artem Anisimov!
Anisimov just was skating along as if nothing could possibly go wrong, and Brad Stuart laid him out with a shoulder check. Anisimov is trying to figure out what the license plate was.

End of Period 3
What a refreshing win for the Wings! They looked good tonight, with Howard making 28 saves.
