The Chris Osgood-less Red Wings tangle with the Washington Capitals tonight (7:30 PM EDT, FSD/Comcast Sportsnet Washington/Versus/WXYT) hoping to detail the Capitals’ 9-game winning streak while both shutting down Washington’s dynamic offense and emulating the Caps’ attention to defensive detail.
As we wait for the game to begin, there’s good news on at least one front: Red Wings GM Ken Holland told MLive’s Ansar Khan that the Wings’ team physician isn’t worried about Osgood’s “soreness,” so it appears that he’ll return this weekend, and as we already know, the Wings will have Brian Rafalski back in the lineup tonight, which should immediately improve the team’s transition game.
