Warm-Up: St. Louis @ Detroit

Warm-Up:

The Wings host the Blues tonight for the 6th and final match-up this season. The Wings are winning this series 4-1 so far, so hey, why not kick them while they're down? The Wings are coming off of a overtime loss against Chicago on Monday night, while the Blues fell short to the Minnesota Wild yesterday in a shoot out.

Joey Mac will more than likely be in the net tonight too.


Injuries/Scratches:

Jimmy Howard- Shoulder
Pavel Datsyuk- Lower Body Injury

Kris Draper and Ruslan Salei are scratched tonight.

Other Notes:

I'm taking Rundown Roomie #1 to her first Wings game tonight. This should be fun. Either she'll enjoy it or just think hockey fans are completely insane... she probably already thinks that anyway.

Babcock has also scratched Ruslan Salei tonight... apparently Salei and Kindl are battling for the 6th d-man spot for the playoffs. It should be interesting to see how this whole thing plays out.

Also, the new Wings site, twentystraight.com is AWESOME. Check it out, it's all about the Wings and their 20 straight years of making it to the playoffs.



Predictions

Final Score-
Stef- 3-2, Wings
Danielle- 4-1, Wings

Player of the Game-
Stef- Jiri Hudler
Danielle- Drew Miller

Warm-Up: Detroit @ Nashville

Warm Up:

The Wings are in Nashville tonight for the 5th meeting of the season. The Wings are coming off of a win against the Blue Jackets on Thursday night where Joey MacDonald was AMAZING in net. They have also won their last 4 games. The Predators will be fighting hard for a win tonight seeing as they are one of the MANY teams in a fight for a play-off spot.

Injuries/Scratches:

Jiri Hudler is out with the flu.

Pavel Datsyuk is out with the classic "lower body injury"... which means that pretty much ANYTHING could be wrong with him. For all we know, he had a paper cut on his pinky finger and can't play. Just kidding, Pav left the ice during the game the other night and never returned.

Johan Franzen is out after getting "bumped" the other night against Columbus.

Ruslan Salei is out... still with his family.

Other Notes:

Rundown Roomie #1, just admit you're a Wings fan.

Predictions:

Final Score:
Stef- 3-0, Wings
Danielle- 3-1, Predators

Player of the Game:
Stef- Valtteri Filppula
Danielle- Darren Helm
