The Detroit News’s Ted Kulfan noted the the Red Wings’ last three wins have involved a significant number of contributions from up and down the lineup, and Kulfan feels that the Red Wings’ second line in particular has shone of late:
A large key for the Wings will be the continued development of the Suter line. Suter, Zadina and Fabbri got off to sluggish starts before beginning to get on track, Suter scoring in Buffalo, then all three making an impact against Vegas.
Having a second consistently dangerous line along with the Larkin line would be a tremendous advantage.
“They’re a line that has offensive ability and created a lot of chances here (lately),” Blashill said. “They had some real chances (Tuesday). Suter has played excellent the last couple of games and so has Z and Fabs. They’re a line that can create a lot, and they’re starting to develop chemistry.
“We went through a stretch where the lines got mixed up a little bit (without Larkin, Bertuzzi in the lineup last week), and now we’re in a stretch where we’re hoping we can keep these lines together. Four impactful lines in their own way.”
