Larkin is sizzling atm. I know Mantha and Bertuzzi have similar or higher production but Larkin has absolutely been driving the Wings offensively.

Hopefully we can shut down the Wings forwards and take advantage of the weak Wings D and goaltending.

We will put our elite 1C Grant against Larkin line and see how it goes. I`m feeling positive

Can’t stand the Red Wings. Maybe they aren’t as unbearable as they used to be 7-10 years ago when they used to get every single call.

Go ducks!

 

[JabbaJabba]

Red Wings have some injuries (Nielsen, Daley, Ericsson, Athanasiou) but I don't know if it's better for them to not have those guys in the lineup or not. If Ducks are able to control their top line, they should win this one.

 

[LMFAO]

Anything new on Sam Steel?

 

[KelVarnsen]

Stephens said he is on the trip with the Ducks but not much more.

Im guessing since he is on the trip, there is a chance he could play sometime during the road trip.

I hope they don't rush him back if he is injured. Right now Lundestrom is playing real well with the two other Swedes going back to the Pre-Season.

 

[DigiDuck]

It's nice to wake up and actually be excited for game day again.

Imagine if they picked Larkin instead of Ritchie in 14. Him and Kase would be so good together.

 

[ducks8]

Shut down their top line and they have a pretty good chance. Detroit's D and G are a big question mark for them

Anything new on Sam Steel?

He's on IR currently. I didn't catch if it was retro to when his injury occurred or not

 

[Elvs]

I have Larkin and Mantha on my fantasy team. I don't mind them scoring a couple as long as the Ducks win

Athanasiou looks to be playing, the rest don't really affect the wings much.

Will be nice for a 7:30 start. Won’t have to stay up past 1am lol.

Hope to see that play from last game. Have to keep attacking and keep their top line at bay. Like to see them get their PP going which looked much better last game.

Go Ducks!!

I’ve got Larkin and Hronek. It’s been a good week so far from those two.

 

[Static]

Looks like Athanasiou is playing tonight.

 

[branmuffin17]

I'm at the point where a game every other day is good...but a 2 day gap between games is too long and I get antsy.

 

[MilesNewton]

Any idea who is sitting on defense tonight?

 

[cheesymc]

Got to win this one before our tough road trip against some of the elite teams.

Detrioit is similar to the ducks... they have some declining vets and alot of grit, hustle, and skills up front and a softish defense.

Hopefully its a fun shootout with Gibson giving us the edge.

If that's the goal for the Ducks, then would you put Shore back with Grant-Rowney and put Comtois with Getz-Kase? Our fourth line played like a fourth line against the Sharks. Nothing wrong with that, but it looked far better against 'Zona. Comtois is a faster power forward than Ritchie. I'm okay with trotting out Ritchie as he's got chemistry with Kase. I remember coach Eakins pondering that any center would look good between Ritchie and Kase during a pre-season interview.

That’s what’s on NHL.com; I suspect they’re just using lineup from last game. I’d frankly be surprised if they sat Ritchie two nights in a row; not necessarily upset, but surprised. I’m also hoping to see Max C tonight, but we’ll see I guess.
