Detroit Red Wings
Red Wings Captain Dylan Larkin hampered the shutout bid of goaltender Kevin Lankinen on Friday. Larkin has three goals and two assists in his last four games and is playing well. However, the team leader is concerned about the teams inability to covert on early game scoring opportunites.
“I thought our start was good; we just didn’t get the puck past the goalie,” Larkin said. “We made it a little too easy on him to get comfortable there to start. I thought we forced it too much, and we gave them too much needless turnovers.
“I liked our start. We knew going in that it’s not a normal year. We’ve got to be ready for the unexpected. A little adversity came our way. I thought we showed up, but we just didn’t have it tonight.” – Dylan Larkin
Although the Red Wings outshot the Blackhawks 31-27, Chicago’s penalty kill stifled each of Detroit’s five power plays on Friday.
Chicago Blackhawks
A deadly power play propelled the Chicago Blackhawks to their first victory of the season after the team had dropped their first four games.

Chicago has converted 7 of 17 opportunities on the power play entering today’s home matinee against the Detroit Red Wings.
