It's imperative for the Detroit Red Wings to pick up two points tonight, and their players know what's at stake.
It's been 5 straight losses for the Detroit Red Wings, and ironically, all by one goal.
Tonight, they're in western New York to face the divisional foe Buffalo Sabres (7:00 PM, FanDuel Sports Detroit, 97.1 The Ticket).
The Red Wings have lost considerable ground in both the Eastern Conference and Atlantic Division thanks to their losing streak.
Detroit's players know they're underperforming, and have to fix things in a hurry.
One of Detroit's forwards who hasn't lived up to expectations is Joe Veleno, who has only a single goal and an assist - but
he believes the team is capable of turning things around.
We just need a little bit more from all of us within our locker room. We're all capable, and we know we're capable.
The last few games haven't gone our way obviously, games decided by one goal.
You can almost look at it as a positive. We're right there in the games. It's just these little details that we're not quite doing on a consistent basis.
Rookie
Marco Kasper, showing the poise of a multi-year veteran, knows that almost winning isn't enough.
We can see that we can play with every team, but we don't just want to play with every team, we want to win those games.
That's how it is. We just have to battle for each other and cheer each other up.
Ville Husso makes his 4th straight Detroit Red Wings start
Despite a desire from fans to see highly-touted prospect goalie
Sebastian Cossa get his 1st career start, Ville Husso has been announced as tonight's goaltender by Derek Lalonde.
