Blues' Blog: St. Louis Game Time
After yesterday's satisfying win over the Los Angeles Kings, the Wings seem to finally be turning a corner. Their season has been off to a bumpy start, and while they still have a long way to go, the team looks like it is clicking more so than ever before.
Tonight we face off against an old division foe that has been off to a pretty good start to their season. The Wings need to build up a series of consistent wins at this point, and tonight should be a great opportunity to build off of last night's victory.
Jimmy Howard is in net today, and that is the only change from last night's lineup that has been confirmed. Also, Dylan Larkin was a little banged up during yesterday's game, but it does not appear to be anything significant.
Larkin getting treatment. Unavailable for comment. Blashill said he assumes he's OK and good to go tomorrow in STL
— Ansar Khan (@AnsarKhanMLive) November 21, 2015 As always, two important points are on the line tonight. Let's hope that when the night comes to its close, those points are resting safely within the grasp of the winged wheel.
