The Wings get back to work tonight hosting the Islanders, and, they'll be looking to get back to the winning ways they were enjoying. Bert is back in the lineup, but, that is no guarantee for a win.

This team has struggled mightily in their last three outings against better teams, and, the Wings aren't exactly known for their toughness. I still think of them as being on the soft side, regardless of who's in the lineup.

Trotz will have the Islanders ready and waiting to pounce on any tiny mistake, or miscue, so Blash had better have the Wings prepared to play hard, and be ready for anything.
