The Detroit Red Wings hit the ice at Little Caesars Arena’s BELFOR Training Center on Saturday afternoon, hoping to build upon their 5-3 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday night.
No changes as #RedWings prepare for tomorrow home vs. Seattle (3, @FanDuelSN_DET). Winners of 6 in row, they’ll be seeking first 7-game win streak since Jan. 12-23, 2012:

The Wings host the 17-22-and-3 Seattle Kraken tomorrow at 3 PM EST, and Seattle’s playing in Buffalo today at 4 PM, so Detroit will hope to stretch their winning streak to 7 games as they look to gain ground in the crowded Atlantic Division standings.
Looking further ahead, the Wings will have one more home game on Tuesday vs. San Jose before embarking upon a 4-game road trip which will take them through Florida, Tampa Bay, Dallas and Philadelphia.
I found it very interesting that Red Wings coach Todd McLellan admitted to the media corps post-game that he is not yet satisfied with the Wings’ 60-minute efforts, though he does feel that the Wings are making progress toward playing full games’ worth of hockey.
It’s an interesting admission from a coach whose team is 6-and-1, and it’s a reminder that this team is still learning coach McLellan’s systems and philosophies of play.
#RedWings have scored at least one power-play goal in seven consecutive games, 11 of 23 during that stretch. Last time they had an eight-game power play streak was March 19-April 2, 2016 (11 of 22). pic.twitter.com/hsqLHtV57W
