The Detroit Red Wings want to end their post-season drought this year. They haven’t been in the playoffs for nine years, and they aren’t fond of going 10 years. The team will lean on goalies Cam Talbot and John Gibson to stop as many pucks as possible. Meanwhile, Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond will lead the way offensively.
Elsewhere in the lineup, Axel Sandin-Pellikka‘s early-season performance has the team contemplating a trade. Other rookies, Michael Brandsegg-Nygard and Emmitt Finnie, are proving they belong in the NHL.
