Red Wings vs. Oilers: Notes, Lines, Goalies, How to Watch

Lucas Raymond, Red Wings

The Detroit Red Wings are in the midst of their first of nine back-to-back game situations they face this season.



The next one comes on Nov. 8 and 9 when they play the Hall of Fame game Friday in Toronto and then come home to play the New York Rangers on that Saturday. Less than a week later, Detroit has games in Anaheim (Nov. 15) and then at the Los Angeles Kings (Nov. 16).

Those two California stops are part of a four-game road trip.

Detroit’s fourth set of back-to-back games comes just before Christmas when they play a home-and-home against the Montreal Canadiens. The Red Wings host the Habs Dec. 20 in Little Caesars Arena and then travel to Montreal to play the next night.

Game Notes

Detroit: Lucas Raymond is the team’s leading scorer with eight points…The Red Wings rank 12th on the power play (19.2%) and 31st on penalty-killing (67.9%)…Coach Derek Lalonde said he needs to find a way to use Albert Johansson on defense. He played well in his two games this season…Injury: Tyler Motte (upper body injury) is still day-to-day.

Edmonton: The Oilers’ last game was Friday when Stuart Skinner shut out the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-0. They have picked up points in four of their last five games…Despite the presence of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, the Oilers power play ranks 27th in the league at 14.3%. Their penalty killing proficiency is last at 58.3%.

I am with ya. Trolls cannot converse. They just downvote. And what kind of Troll does not want Johansson to play and succeed. Such is not even a fan.

These Trolls are spineless.

Slappies, lemmings and apologists who can’t think for themselves.
