Time: 10:00 p.m. ET
TV: FS-D, CBC

Detroit looks to get back on the winning track after a sluggish 3-2 SO loss to Edmonton. The game is the last of the three game trip to Western Canada and the Wings look to pick up 5 of a possible 6 points on the trip. Patrick Eaves is out of the line-up tonight with a head injury (probably precautionary) and the chances are that Jonathan Ericsson will play, likely at forward instead of his regular defensive position.

Puck drops at 10:00 p.m. ET and the game will air on FS-D and TSN. Comment below and as always, GO WINGS!

I don't buy that

The “not wanting” part. These are for the most part the same guys who “wanted it” so much for the last two years that they made the finals twice and won once.

They just aren’t as good as they used to be because their depth has been depleted by both the salary cap and the injuries. The spread top-to-bottom league-wide is much tighter.
