Detroit Red Wings confirm starting goaltender for tonight's clash against divisional foe Senators
The Detroit Red Wings are back on home ice riding a 4-game win streak, and have confirmed their starting goalie for tonight's game against the Sens in Hockeytown.
The Detroit Red Wings are back at it on home ice at Little Caesars Arena, and will be hosting the divisional foe Ottawa Senators (7:00 PM, FanDuel Sports Detroit, 97.1 The Ticket).
Coach Todd McLellan, who has coached the Red Wings to 4 consecutive victories, has confirmed that goaltender Alex Lyon will be getting consecutive starts; he made 21 saves in Saturday night's victory over the NHL-leading Winnipeg Jets.
For Lyon, it was his 3rd straight victory, and he spoke at length about the "good feeling" that was making its way back into the Red Wings dressing room since the coaching change was made in late December.
Obviously a very dangerous team, but we've gotta keep it rolling. Whether we win or lose, we're set out to play the right way. Fortunately, we got the win against a very good team.
It feels good, but we've got a lot more work to do. We'll enjoy it for a little bit and then move on. They've got such a dangerous power play. But our power play has been clicking all year, so credit to those guys to keep it rolling. Again, they've got a good D-core and good goalie.
t just feels good, the 1st half of this year has been tough at times, so it's nice to have a good feeling back in the room.
Lyon has looked sharp in each of his last handful of starts, and will aim to keep it going in tonight's game.
