The Detroit Red Wings return to home ice this afternoon against the visiting Seattle Kraken, and they have a chance to accomplish something they haven't since 2012.
The
Detroit Red Wings are on a roll, having won 6-straight games and vaulting themselves right back to within striking distance of a postseason spot.
Their most recent victory was on Friday night against the Chicago Blackhawks at Little Caesars Arena; former Blackhawks forwards
Patrick Kane and
Alex DeBrincat helped dismantle their old club with three assists along with a goal and an assist, respectively.
Today, the Red Wings bring in the Seattle Kraken to Detroit for a late afternoon game (3:00 PM, FanDuel Sports Detroit, 97.1 The Ticket).
The Red Wings have the chance to accomplish something they've not done since January in the 2011-12 season, which is to win 7-straight games.
Later that year, they would set the modern-day NHL record with 21 consecutive wins on home ice.
There are no changes in the line combinations for today's game, as they'll be going with the same forward and defensive pairs they skated with on Friday against the Blackhawks.
As confirmed by MLive's Ansar Khan, the combinations are as follows:
Kasper - Larkin - Raymond
DeBrincat - Copp - Kane
Berggren - Compher - Tarasenko
Rasmussen - Veleno - Motte
Chiarot - Seider
Edvinsson - Johansson
Gustafsson - Holl
Meanwhile, goaltender
Alex Lyon remains out with an upper-body injury; he was hurt during Detroit's 3-2 overtime win over the Ottawa Senators.
