Looks like Cal Petersen could get the nod tonight. Petersen has faced Detroit just once in his NHL career, a 21-save shutout here in LA this past January.

Three Keys to the Game
Defensive responsibility. Last game the Wings stopped picking up their guys. Canβt do that if you donβt want to lose 8-2. Look for Lalonde to sort out the defensive missteps from the last game.
Clean passes. LA has an identity built around defensively sound play and being heavy on their skates. They like to block up the neutral zone and play a hard, physical game, but itβs hard to play that way if your passes are clean. Detroit will need to rely on its playmakers especially to not let LA wear them down physically.
Faster turnaround. Detroit had an ugly loss earlier in the season to Boston, then came back and laid an egg against Buffalo. Smilar to the Rangers game, Detroit played both well until the moment they didnβt. Detroit has to figure out how to get their heads on square; we already had another Boston game, so lets not follow it up with another Buffalo game, yeah?
