Detroit Red Wings News & Notes:

The Detroit Red Wings have struggled recently, dropping six of their last seven games. Their lone win was an overtime win over the Buffalo Sabres in a shootout on Monday night. The tough story has been their offense, where they struggle to get shots on the net and continuously get outshot by their opponent.

Toronto Maple Leafs News & Notes:

Toronto is on a two-game win streak after snapping a two-game losing streak. They currently lead the Atlantic Division and a big reason is their goaltending as they rank second in the league goals against per game behind Joseph Woll and Anthony Stolarz.
