Detroit Red Wings vs Buffalo Sabres Lines, How to Watch and More
The Detroit Red Wings desperately need to stop the losing streak if they have any hope at the postseason, and it can start tonight against the divisional foe Sabres.
The Detroit Red Wings have been stuck on 66 points for 2 weeks now, as they've now lost 6 consecutive games and lost serious ground in the Stanley Cup Playoff chase.
Their most recent outing was a
painful 2-1 defeat to the divisional foe Ottawa Senators on Monday night; they lost despite outshooting the Senators by a near 2-1 margin.
Tonight, they bring in another divisional foe to Little Caesars Arena, as the Buffalo Sabres are in town for the 2nd time this year.
Projected Red Wings line combinations
The Red Wings continue to miss forward
Andrew Copp, who will be out the rest of the year after undergoing pectoral surgery.
There's a good chance that goaltender
Petr Mrazek, who was recently re-acquired by the Red Wings at the Trade Deadline last week, could make his 1st start back in a Detroit sweater.
Meanwhile, look for Lucas Raymond to have a big game for Detroit; he hasn't scored since before the Red Wings' losing streak began.
Tonight's game for the Red Wings against the Sabres is going to be a national broadcast, and can be seen on TNT as well as TruTV; local radio listeners can catch the game on their usual affiliate 97.1 The Ticket WXYZ.
