Utah Hockey Club News & Notes:
Utah had a three-game winning streak snapped on Saturday in a 3-1 loss to the New Jersey Devils. They have won five of their last eight. In that stretch, they averaged 3.50 goals per game while allowing 3.25 goals per game.
Detroit Red Wings News & Notes:
The Red Wings dropped their third straight game on Tuesday in a 2-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes. They’ve now fallen out of a playoff spot. They are 5-5-0 in their last ten games and are averaging 3.10 goals per game while allowing 3.50 goals per game. This will be the last game before the trade deadline for the Red Wings so it’ll be intriguing what they do come Friday following this game.
