Detroit Red Wings players get honest about their situation before major game vs. Sabres
It's imperative for the Detroit Red Wings to pick up two points tonight, and their players know what's at stake.
It's been 5 straight losses for the Detroit Red Wings, and ironically, all by one goal.
Tonight, they're in western New York to face the divisional foe Buffalo Sabres (7:00 PM, FanDuel Sports Detroit, 97.1 The Ticket).
The Red Wings have lost considerable ground in both the Eastern Conference and Atlantic Division thanks to their losing streak.
Detroit's players know they're underperforming, and have to fix things in a hurry.
One of Detroit's forwards who hasn't lived up to expectations is Joe Veleno, who has only a single goal and an assist - but he believes the team is capable of turning things around.
The last few games haven't gone our way obviously, games decided by one goal.
Rookie Marco Kasper, showing the poise of a multi-year veteran, knows that almost winning isn't enough.
Ville Husso makes his 4th straight Detroit Red Wings start
Despite a desire from fans to see highly-touted prospect goalie Sebastian Cossa get his 1st career start, Ville Husso has been announced as tonight's goaltender by Derek Lalonde.
