DETROIT — Following a wild game on Black Friday, the Detroit Red Wings have some more afternoon on tap for Sunday, as they prepare to host the Vancouver Canucks.
The Red Wings got off to a great start against the New Jersey Devils on Friday, heavily outplaying one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference early on. However, an early 2-0 lead was quickly erased late in the first period, leading to a wild back-and-forth contest. Three straight goals by the Devils are what hurt Detroit in the post-holiday affair, leading to a 5-4 loss.
Detroit needs to start finding ways to beat better teams if they want the rest of the league to consider them a threat to the playoffs. Heading into Sunday, the Wings are sixth in the Atlantic Division, seven points out of first place.
The Canucks caught everyone by surprise with a dominating 2023-24 season. However, with many key players out of the lineup, they have not been as strong so far this year as they were last. This is the fifth game of Vancouver’s six-game road trip, and it has been a pretty good run, winning three of their first four contests, including a 4-3 overtime win over the Buffalo Sabres on Friday. Heading into Sunday, the Canucks are fourth in the Pacific Division, six points back of the first-place Vegas Golden Knights.
This will be the first of two meetings between Vancouver and Detroit. The teams split last year’s season series, with the home team winning each matchup.
