Scouting the Red Wings

To catch up on today’s news and notes, please check out my LAKings.com notebook for today by clicking here. And for the latest on the Red Wings, check out the Detroit Free Press and the Detroit News. The Kings have won three consecutive games over the Red Wings but are 2-6-2 at Joe Louis Arena since the end of the lockout in 2005. A reminder that tonight’s game is on Versus, not Fox Sports West. Here’s how the Red Wings and Kings are expected to line up tonight (it’s uncertain as to where exactly Hudler will play…)
