Morning Skate: Red Wings at Sharks

Venue: SAP Center
Puck drop: 10:30pm ET
TV Broadcast: Fox Sports Detroit Plus
Online Streaming: Fox Sports Go

After a thrilling shutout victory over the Kings on Thursday night, the Wings are back in action in the Golden State against the San Jose Sharks.

The Sharks lead the Pacific Division, and should be the biggest challenger of the western swing. They’ve always been a team who have had the Wings’ number, so I’m expecting a frustrating tilt to say the least. However, if Blashill decides to keep a similar deployment plan as he did against the Kings, we could see another entertaining effort. But, again, the power play needs to figure it out if they’re going to gain any traction.

It’s another late one, so plan accordingly. Take a nap, have a coffee. Here’s a look at the projected lineups…
