|
| |  | MINNESOTA: LAST SEASON: 38-33-11, 87 points. Finished fifth in Central Division. Lost to Dallas Stars in Western Conference quarterfinals.
COACH: Bruce Boudreau (first season, 10th NHL season).
ADDED: C Marc Staal, RW Chris Stewart.
LOST: LW Thomas Vanek, RW Justin Fontaine, LW Chris Porter, C Jarret Stoll, RW David Jones.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Mikael Granlund. The ninth pick in the 2010 draft, a cult hero in his native Finland, hasn't matched the hype with offensive production over his first four NHL seasons. But he has proved to be a hard-nosed defensive player and, playing all 82 games for the first time, posted a career-best 13 goals and 44 points last season. Granlund, who has been playing left wing on a line centered by captain and fellow Finn Mikko Koivu, is poised for a breakout in Boudreau's system.
OUTLOOK: With Granlund and fellow forwards Charlie Coyle, Nino Niederreiter, Erik Haula and Jason Zucker, plus defensemen Jonas Brodin and Matt Dumba, the Wild have a young core. Koivu, Staal, Zach Parise, Jason Pominville and defenseman Ryan Suter will all be 32 or older this season, so the time is now to make a move past the early rounds of the playoffs where they've been stuck the last four years. It's up to Boudreau to guide them there. | | DETROIT: LAST SEASON: 34-40-8, 76 points. Last in the Metropolitan Division, missed the playoffs.
COACH: John Tortorella, second year, 34-32-8
ADDED: C Sam Gagner, D Scott Harrington, LW Pierre-Luc Dubois.
LOST: RW Rene Bourque, RW Jared Boll, D Fedor Tyutin, D Justin Falk, LW Kerby Rychel.
PLAYER TO WATCH: LW Brandon Saad. Acquired in a trade with Chicago before last season, the 23-year-old Saad scored 31 goals and added 22 assists for 53 points, all career highs. He and center Boone Jenner were among the few bright spots in the team's dismal season last year. That pair, along with right wing Cam Atkinson will make a potent first line.
OUTLOOK: Columbus made no blockbuster deals in the off-season, meaning it is starting the season with the same group of players that made it one of the NHL's sad sacks last year. But team president John Davidson believes his players will perform up to their potential under Tortorella, who replaced Todd Richards after seven games last season. He's also ready to tap into the talented pool of players that helped the Lake Erie Monsters win the AHL's Calder Cup. A fully healthy Sergei Bobrovsky in the net will be a huge boost. Still, everything will have to click just right to get the Blue Jackets to the playoffs. |
| | Wild visit kicks off trifecta for Red Wings
In sports, threes are frequently uplifting. A triple play in baseball. A 3-point shot in basketball. A hat trick in hockey. The treble that the Detroit Red Wings are about to embark upon, though, figures to be far more arduous than rewarding. Beginning Sunday afternoon at Joe Louis Arena, the Red Wings will play three games in three days. They face the Minnesota Wild at home before heading to Carolina for back-to-back meetings with the Hurricanes on Monday and Tuesday. "It will be different," Detroit left winger Justin Abdelkader said. "It will be nice the game on Sunday is at 12:30 (p.m.) so we can get in (to Carolina) at a decent time. But we've definitely gotta make sure we're taking care of our bodies. "We're getting ready for a tough three games. It's a lot of hockey coming up so we gotta make sure we take of ourselves." While three games in three nights is not unheard of in hockey -- in fact it is commonplace in the minor leagues and the junior ranks -- in the NHL it is outlawed by the CBA between the owners and players. The players on the Red Wings, who on Monday are making up a Dec. 19 game that was postponed due to an issue with the compressor that cools the ice surface at PNC Arena, both were required to sign off on the need to play three games in three nights. "It is what it is," Detroit captain Henrik Zetterberg said. "We've got three in three. It's a first for some but the good thing is we're in the same city for the last two. "I'd rather play than practice." For the Detroit players who came up through the Canadian junior leagues, playing three times in three days is nothing new, and they were doing so while traveling by bus. "I've definitely played a few three in threes," said Red Wings forward Andreas Athanasiou, who skated in the Ontario Hockey League with the London Knights and Barrie Colts. "I think fueling the body is such a big thing and getting the rest. Any chance you've got to get some rest, you've got to take it." It's been a rough go of late for the Wild, who are 2-9-0 in their last 11 games and 1-5-0 in their last six road games. "When we're on top of our game we're really simplified," Wild coach Bruce Boudreau told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. "We get it out, we get it in, we're not trying to be fancy." Theoretically, the Red Wings should hold the edge on Sunday. The Wild will be coming to Detroit after Saturday's 4-2 home loss to the Vancouver Canucks and will be playing the second of back-to-back games. But Minnesota is 6-4-2 in the second half of back-to-backs The Wild clinched a playoff berth when the Los Angeles Kings lost to the New York Rangers 3-0 on Saturday night. On Friday, the Red Wings fell 2-1 in overtime to the Tampa Bay Lighting, a team that came to Detroit after winning 6-3 the previous night in Boston. "Obviously I think we came out with a slow start the first period, had four shots on net," Abdelkader said. "That's not good enough, especially against a team playing back-to-back. "We've gotta come out, start off stronger." Detroit is 6-5-1 in the second game of two games in consecutive nights. |
