Keys to the game
Hope to god that this lineup doesn’t suck
I guess this explains itself, huh? The Red Wings have a legitimate top line, then a bunch of question marks after it. The top line is going to need to have a strong game. Period.
Goaltending
As always, goaltending will play a huge role in this game. Maybe try and not let up a hat-trick to a bottom-six player again. I dunno, give it a shot!
