GDT - Game 12: Red Wings (6-4-1) host Kings (3-4-2) 12:30

02/10/2013 at 9:22am EST

Third game in four days for DET; a 5-1 beatdown against STL on Thursday, and a 2-1 "special teams" win yesterday against the Oil. Nevermind what I said yesterday: "If todays tilt is a special teams contest, you have to like the Oil's chances." Obviously I have no clue what the hell I am talking aboot. DET scored two PP goals, and much more importantly only gave up one goal against on the PK. The Wings killed four penalties in the third period, including a five-on-three power play that lasted for 1:07 - - the Oil didn't even manage a shot during that sequence.

The defending Cup champions last played Thursday at NSH, losing 0-3. The Kings are sitting in 13th place today, they cannot score, at 2.11 G/G, and their "D" isn't too shiny either, 3.00 GA/G.

One statement I did get right yesterday: "Who the hell knows which DET team will show up today."

A win today would give the Wings their first 3 game streak of the season. LGRW
