Two teams dealing with key injuries meet in this matchup and it got worse for Vegas, which learned that captain Mark Stone will be out at least for the rest of the regular season with a lacerated spleen. Detroit won the first meeting this season 5-2 on Jan. 27 and it will try to end a four-game skid after losing 4-0 to Arizona last night. James Reimer will start for the first time since Feb. 25 for the Red Wings and he has won his last two starts. Reimer is 6-6-2 with a 2.98 goals-against average and a .906 save percentage. Vegas also has lost four straight and seven of eight after losing 3-1 to Vancouver in the Golden Knights' first home game in six games. The injuries and fatigue have taken their toll and Vegas has lost seven of eight against the Eastern Conference. Detroit has won eight of 11 versus the Pacific Division. Take the Red Wings.
