Detroit Red Wings play best game in weeks, trump Kings, 4-0

“After registering just two shots on goal in the second period, the Wings looked like a team trying to build on a 3-0 lead as the third period got underway. Jensen made a play at the blue line and Tomas Tatar won a puck battle along the wall and got the puck to Mantha, who scored from the slot.”

Jared Coreau, Andreas Athanasiou lead Red Wings past Kings

“Athanasiou, who had been playing on the fourth line of late, was placed on a unit that better suits his skill-set, with Frans Nielsen and Vanek. They dominated in the first period, helping the Red Wings jump out to a 3-0 lead against goaltender Jeff Zatkoff.”

“Props to Coreau making some very pretty saves (and some ugly ones) en route to his first career shutout. There can’t be too many goaltenders that had to stop a penalty shot in their first career shutout.”
