The Detroit Red Wings will wrap up a three-game road trip on Saturday night against the Winnipeg Jets at Canada Life Centre.
Todd McLellan’s team earned three points in the first two games of the trip. On Wednesday, the Red Wings edged out the Toronto Maple Leafs 2-1 in overtime, but lost to the Minnesota Wild after regulation on Thursday night.
Detroit held the lead three times in Saint Paul, but the Wild put in a gritty performance, with Kirill Kaprizov making it a 4-3 win for the home team in overtime. It was only the fifth defeat the Red Wings have suffered since the holiday break.
The Jets have also been in good form recently, going 5-1-2 over the last eight games. The team has responded superbly to an 11-game losing streak, but last year’s Presidents’ Trophy winner still has a lot of ground to make up to get back into the postseason race.
During Winnipeg’s 11-game skid, they lost 2-1 to the Red Wings on New Year’s Eve. Detroit started strong with two goals in the first period, and Scott Arniel’s team couldn’t generate enough offense to catch up.
