Summary
The Detroit Red Wings refuse to die.
Tune in as we discuss Todd McLellan's team's most recent wins, starting with their victory over Jarvis and the Carolina Hurricanes, including a Dang-It from Justin Holl, rapid goals from Ben Chiarot, Marco Kasper, Patrick Kane, and Michael Rasmussen, as well as Dylan Larkin and Alex DeBrincat combining to seal the win (5:10), as well as their 2-1 victory over a Tkachuk & Barkov-less Florida Panthers, including Alex DeBrincat's 35th goal of the season on a great pass from Lucas Raymond, J.T. Compher continuing to produce, Chiarot and Moritz Seider mixing things up, and Cam Talbot saving the game (15:45). Next, where Steve Yzerman's team sits in the Stanley Cup Playoff Wild Card race behind the Montreal Canadiens, and the "Misa/Hagens/Schaefer" Draft Lottery standings, and the importance of Tuesday's game (21:20). Also, an update on the AHL's Grand Rapids Griffins (Lombardi, Danielson, Shine, Watson) and Axel Sandin Pellikka and Arvid Holm (potential new goaltending acquisition) in Sweden (27:15).
Next, some Detroit Red Wings trivia about Alex DeBrincat (34:05) before discussing Alex Ovechkin scoring goal number 895 to pass Wayne Gretzky as the NHL's all-time leading goal scorer, how Gordie Howe ties in, whether Auston Matthews or any others could follow suit, and more (38:40).
Finally, our Jake O'Brien 2025 NHL Entry Draft Prospect Profile and why he may be a name Steve Yzerman could call if Detroit is drafting more in the "Edvinsson" range than the "Raymond" range (52:45) before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (1:02:10) - enjoy!
