Wings win. Their 1st solid road game. They are now 7-3 to start the year. Good way to begin a 5-game road swing. #LGRW

Larkin buries the ENG to make it 5-2 #LGRW

Kyrou makes it 4-2 with 4:24 left. #LGRW

This has been a great period by Detroit. The 4th line has been very good tonight too. #LGRW

I think the Blues probably carried a tad more of the play in the 2nd, pretty even overall though. But Detroit capitalized on their chances where St. Louis failed. Goals from Larkin and Soderblom make it 4-1. #LGRW

Soderblom makes it 4-1! Rasmussen battling behind the net finds Soda out front. #LGRW

Larkin makes it 3-1 off the faceoff! They won the faceoff, back to Ed, feed Larkin breaking to the slot. #LGRW

Another bad start by the Red Wings is quickly erased. They control the last 10-13 minutes of the 1st by playing their brand of hockey, and find themselves up 2-1 after 20. #LGRW

DeBrincat makes it 2-1 on the PP! He tips home a shot from Seider. #LGRW

Chiarot ties it! A shot from the point goes off Faulk and in. 1-1 #LGRW

1-0 Blues 47 seconds in. Schenn.

MBN’s defensive impacts are actually pretty good, but the offense isn’t ready yet. His feet and decision making still a step behind NHL levels. Going down to GR isn’t a punishment, it’s part of development. He will be ok. #LGRW

EDVINSSON ENG FROM DOWNTOWN AND THE WINGS ARE GOING TO WIN 6-4! ERASING A 4-0 DEFICIT. #LGRW

EDVINSSON FROM THE POINT AND ITS 5-4!!!! #LGRW

DEBRINCAT FINALLY FINDS TWINE AND ITS 4-4!!!!! #LGRW

This is what happens when you shoot the puck and go to the net. Shocker.

NOW COMPHER AND ITS A ONE GOAL GAME. Hamonic gets his 1st point as a Red Wings! #LGRW

Finnie and Larkin stay hot. Finnie goes to the net and buries the puck after Larkin sends it out front. #LGRW

Wings finally on the board. Berggren on the PP from Copp and ASP. 4-1. #LGRW

4-0. This team is absolutely terrible rn. This is what McLellan has been talking about. Highest of highs, lowest of lows.

Buchnevich makes it 3-0 on the PP. great tip. Detroit in a huge hole.

2-0 Blues. Wings again getting absolutely dominated.

Kyrou on the PP. 1-0 Blues. #LGRW

Berggren scores his first of the season on a nice feed from Compher MBN gets his 1st NHL point with the secondary assist. #LGRW

7-1

6-1. Heineman again.

Larkin scores on the PP, to extend his point streak. Finnie showed nice patience to feed him, tying Schaefer to the roomie point lead. 5-1 #LGRW

Now Johansson turns the puck over at his own blue line and its 5-0.

4-0 Islanders on a redirect down low.

Pageau makes it 3-0. No idea how he got so open. Forward missed an assignment.

Heineman makes it 2-0. Copp makes and errant pass, then Edvinsson pinches. 2 on 1, 2-0. #LGRW

DeAngelo makes it 1-0 on the Islanders 1st shot. Defensive breakdown. #LGRW

Buffalo keeps pouring the pressure, and this time Doan squeaks one through Gibson. One Gibby will want back, but he also can’t control how much the team in front of him is being outplayed. #LGRW

On their fourth PP, McLeod hammers one home from the point. 3-2 Buffalo. #LGRW

Finnie ties it at 2 on the feed from Larkin! #LGRW

2-1 Buffalo. Kozak, as the Sabres just skate through the defensive zone

Seider makes a good stick play on a 2-on-1 but unfortunately it takes the perfect bounce and Zucker ties it at 1. #LGRW

Compher goes to the net and buries the rebound on Ajo’s shot! 1-0 Detroit! #LGRW

Not a great period for Detoit, who found themselves on their heels most the period after opening with 2 consecutive PKs. They did push in the last couple minutes of the 1st though. I’ve certainly seen them play worse hockey. 0-0 with a PP to start the 2nd. #LGRW

The Red Wings look to be dodging an Alex Lyon revenge game. As 25 year old Colten Ellis appears primed to make his NHL debut. #LGRW

One thing to watch - the Wings have won just 7 of 18 shorthanded faceoffs this year (38.9%). - Dylan Larkin is 6/9 (66.7%) - Rest of team is 1/9 (11.1%) Clean faceoff wins are critical to killing time while shorthanded. Hopefully one of Copp/Compher/Ras can start winning draws or they try Kasper

An incredible win by Detroit. A 4pt night from Larkin, and a 3pt night from Finnie featuring his 1st career goal. A 5 game winning streak to start 5-1, beating Toronto (x2), Florida, Tampa and Edmonton. Much was made of the difficult schedule to start the year too. #LGRW

Finnie empty netter makes 4-2!! His 2nd of the night and it is a 3pt night! #LGRW

Draisaitl makes it 3-2. #LGRW

3-1 Detroit! Larking throws the puck at the net from the boards and it finds its way in short side! #LGRW

EDM gets one back. 2-1. Philp on a nasty redirection.

FINNIE GETS 1ST CAREER GOAL ON THE REBOUND! 2-0 #LGRW

Wasn’t a shot-pass, but rather a picture perfect saucer pass. What a feed from Ben. #LGRW

Larkin makes it 1-0! A beautiful shot-pass from Chiarot. #LGRW

Everyday I’m grateful for the opportunity to share my passion for hockey, and even more grateful to all of you who listen to us. This is a fun (and sometimes painful) gig, and you all show up and listen to me ramble. Thank you. #LGRW
