They are 1 for 15 on the power play the past four games and have allowed eight power-play goals over six games. Usually when you get a power play, someone had a great effort, got hooked or something happened that they created some momentum for the group to have a power play. You can go back five-on-five and keep putting pressure on them.”Ville Husso will start in goal for the Red Wings.

The Detroit Red Wings should be more competitive in Canada this season if, as expected, Tyler Bertuzzi is in the lineup. That would mean Bertuzzi, the team’s only player who opted not to be vaccinated for COVID, can play in Detroit’s 10 games north of the border. The Red Wings went 2-7 without him in games in Canada. “We’re a better team with Tyler Bertuzzi in the lineup.

Ideally, the Red Wings would like to sign him long-term and have him continue to be an integral part of the rebuild. The Red Wings inked Anthony Mantha to a four-year, $21.8 million pact early in the 2020-21 season and dealt him five months later.
