Game #56 - vs Detroit Red Wings

Game 56

Red Wings (26-19-9, 61 points) at Penguins (33-21-1, 67 points)

Why does it matter?
The Red Wings have been a mess this year, but are starting to get healthy. They'll bring their best game in a rematch of the last two Cup Finals.

What has been happening lately?

• Pens - A limp effort at home against the Sens put a damper on the recent good play.
• Red Wings - While the injuries are starting to lessen, they're still just 3-4-3 in their past 10 games.

Questions to be answered

• Will Fleury play? He has struggled at home lately.
• If the Wings get a lead, can they afford to sit back and let the Pens bring it? The Wings have been out shot in their last 5 wins, including allowing 48 shots to Nashville in their win on Friday.
  
• I'm still looking for a shut out from a Pens goalie. Can they get one? (this question is staying here until they do)
  

Keys to the game

• Keep the Wings off of the power play. They haven't been drawing many chances, but they are capable of burning you if you give them the chance.
  
• Play a road game at home - the Wings will try to get the lead and suck the life out of you.
