The Red Wings had killed a pair of penalties preceding that goal.

DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings emerge from their longest break of the season tonight facing their toughest challenge to date – trying to contain Connor McDavid.

If you have one line out against them it’s another challenge because of how much they play, and at times they have really long shifts.
