"The San Jose Sharks are back on the ice this evening, just over 24 hours after winning in overtime against the Colorado Avalanche. Let's hope the Sharks didn't leave it all out on the ice because the Detroit Red Wings are well rested. Detroit was in town to watch the game. The Red Wings have won seven of the team's last ten games and are 8-4-0 for the season, good enough for second in the Atlantic Division."
"So far on this California roadie, Detroit has had a split decision. The Red Wings beat the Los Angeles Kings in overtime on Thursday night, but lost to the Anaheim Ducks on Friday night. This is the rubber match in California. Detroit's top scorer is Dylan Larkin, who has 17 points for the season. The team's hottest scorer is Alex DeBrincat, who has eight points and four goals in his last five games. There will be a familiar face in the net for the Red Wings. John Gibson is in the net for Detroit, though he's been having a tough go of it to start the season. Gibson has a 4-3-0 record with a 3.32 goals against average and .875 save percentage. His backup, Cam Talbot has been faring better. Talbot has a 4-1-0 record with a 2.94 goals against average and a .898 save percentage."
"Dickinson, on Misa's reaction to his good news: "He was really happy for me when I found out I was playing [today], he was one of the first guys that came up to me...It's just nice to have another guy that you can kind of lean on."- Sheng Peng (@Sheng_Peng)"
