Warm-Up:
It's more Original 6 action tonight as the Wings host the Blackhawks tonight at Joe Louis Arena. This is the 4th match-up between these two teams this season. The Blackhawks are one of the many teams still fighting for a playoff berth as they currently stand in 8th place in the West. While the Wings are still battling injuries and still fighting for that 2nd place spot in the West over San Jose.
Injuries/Scratches:
Jimmy Howard- Upper Body Injury (shoulder)
Pavel Datsyuk- Lower Body Injury
Drew Miller is scratched.
Other Notes:
The Detroit Red Wings announced this morning that they have called up Thomas McCollum from the Toledo Storm to come in tonight and back-up MacDonald. McCollum was up for the Wings one other time this season already. The 21 year old goalie has spent most of his season between Toledo (23 GP 11-9-2) and Grand Rapids (20 GP 6-11-2).
If the Playoffs started today, the Wings would be playing The Ducks in the first round. But as many of us already know, that could all change tonight.
Predictions:
Final Score-
Stef-2-1, Wings
Danielle- 2-1, Wings
Player of the Game-
Stef- Danny Cleary
Danielle- Darren Helm
