Next Saturday night will be a decisive matchday for the Detroit Red Wings in the NHL, as they will face a unique opportunity to dethrone the Carolina Hurricanes from the top spot in the Eastern Conference standings. With that goal in mind, the Red Wings are expected to maintain the outstanding performance they displayed against the Washington Capitals and the Dallas Stars before taking three days off from the NHL schedule.

Nevertheless, it’s a fact that getting their fourth victory in a row won’t be straightforward with such an irregular offense, as the Red Wings have scored more than three goals in only one of their last five games. Furthermore, it cannot be ignored that Patrick Kane is still out due to an injury, an absence that is very significant considering he has provided 17 assists so far this season.

As for the Carolina Hurricanes, this game is expected to be one of the most challenging in the regular season, especially since they currently have a three-game losing streak. Despite that, the Hurricanes are two games behind the Red Wings, so they should try to take advantage of that situation to look for a victory that could extend their advantage against the top 4 teams in the Eastern Conference.
