Marco Kasper

The Detroit Red Wings are playing an opponent today that is struggling worse than they are. They are playing the Nashville Predators, a team with high expectations, currently sitting at 0-4.



The Predators have high hopes for this season after signing Steven Stamkos, Jonathan Marchessault and Brady Skjei.

But they have played sloppy defensively in losing to Dallas, Detroit, Seattle and Edmonton. Cam Talbot made 42 saves to shut out the Predators 3-0. But he won’t be in goal for Detroit today.

The Red Wings, meanwhile, hope to find a spark in the arrival of 2022 first round pick Marco Kasper who was called up Friday.
