The Red Wings are coming into this game with 61 points, a 26-34-9 record overall, and they are 9-21-3 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 7 of their last 8 games and are coming into this one on a 6 game losing streak. Their last win was against the Philadelphia Flyers while their 7 losses in that span came against the Seattle Kraken, the New York Islanders, the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Pittsburgh Penguins, the New York Rangers, the Ottawa Senators in their last 2 games. They still have a game against the Boston Bruins on Tuesday night that needs to be played first so this will be the 2nd leg of a back-to-back for them on Wednesday night. In their last game against the Senators, Dylan Larkin and Michael Rasmussen scored 1 goal each in that one. Dylan Larkin led the team in shots on goal in that one with 5. Thomas Greiss was the starting goaltender in that game and he allowed 3 goals on 34 shots with 31 saves and a .912 save percentage. Their offense has scored 197 goals this season averaging 2.9 goals per game and their defense has allowed their opponents to score 268 goals against them allowing 3.9 goals per game. 

 

 

The Jets are coming into this game with 76 points, a 33-27-10 record overall, and they are 19-14-2 in their home games this regular season where they will be in this game. They are coming into this game on a 2 game losing streak. Their last win was against the Buffalo Sabres while their 2 losses since then have come against the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Los Angeles Kings in their last game. They lost that game at home 3-2. Nikolaj Ehlers and Adam Lowry each scored 1 goal in that one. Nikolaj Ehlers and Pierre-Luc Dubois both led the team in shots on net in that game with 5 each. Connor Hellebuyck was the starting goalie in that game and he allowed 3 goals on 38 shots with 35 saves and a .921 sv percentage. Their offense has scored 217 goals this season averaging 3.1 goals per game and their defense has allowed their opponents to score 219 goals against them allowing 3.1 goals per game. 

 

 

The Jets are coming into this game with 3 wins in their last 5 games but they have not been playing badly in their losses and their last loss was a close game, losing by only 1 goal. They will be at home here where they have been better this season and they are going up against a Red Wings team that has not been playing well recently and has been awful on the road this season. The Red Wings have lost their last 6 straight games and most of those losses have been by 2 or more goals. They have lost their last 4 straight games on the road, all of those losses by 2 or more goals, and their last 3 have actually been by 3 or more goals with one of those being an 11-2 loss. They have been struggling for many games now and they will likely continue to struggle here as they have not been good on the road and the Jets are a much better team. The Jets will bounce back and get a win here at home by 2 or more goals.

“There’s no doubt that right now we’re beat down mentally. Now, that’s not an excuse. We’ve got to fix that, but that’s the reality of it and we’ve got to climb our way out of it.” - Jeff Blashill on his team’s loss against the Senators on Sunday.

 

 

“We got our chances. Their goalie played well. I think in another game, we could have scored more but that’s how it is. It’s not easy to score. They did a good job of defending, goalie made key saves.” - Adam Lowry on their loss against the Kings on Saturday night.
