Detroit at Chicago

The Blackhawks came into Detroit a few days ago on a nine-game winning streak and were handed a 4-0 shutout. This was a team that had logged 40 goals in those nine games. The Red Wings have now posted the win in all three games against the Blackhawks. If the Blackhawks think they are gaining on the Stanley Cup Champs, the Wings sure haven't paid attention. This will be the return game of a home-and-home between the two clubs, and Detroit has posted a flashy 42-14-4 mark in the second of such sets while the Blackhawks have sunk to an 8-22-4 mark in the second of back-to-backs. The statement-making Red Wings speak again - Detroit gets the call.
