Loose, fast, and free...that's how I expect game 82 to look for a Red Wings team disappointed on how the 2nd half of the season spiraled away from them. Meanwhile, Florida's attempt to 3-peat was derailed early on with an injury to Sasha Barkov that became a harbinger for things to come. Florida will ice an AHL blue line tonight as all 6 projected opening day starters are out. Matthew Tkachuk returns and there's speculation Carter Verhaeghe and Sam Bennett could join him on the top line. Let's root for pond hockey in the Everglades tonight.
