Things To Know

The Red Wings are firing on all cylinders in the early going, especially on the power play, where they are 9-for-18 this season. “We’ve found different ways to score,” forward David Perron said after Saturday’s 5-2 win at Ottawa. “It was nice getting the middle guy to score with Larks with the way he’s been supporting the puck in the O-zone. Our breakouts have been pretty good. We’re just gonna try to keep it going.” Perron had one of Detroit’s three power-play goals, the first time the Wings had that many in a road game since March 29, 2016. …

Coach Derek Lalonde: “I loved the fast that all of our power-play goals basically came off retrievals,” he said,  either a loose puck or a 50-50 along the wall that we turned into some quick offense. It’s huge momentum. Even the one we didn’t score on in the second, we scored a 5-on-5 goal right after, so really important for momentum.”
