Following a road back-to-back against the Philadelphia Flyers and New Jersey Devils on Monday and Tuesday, respectively, the defending Stanley Cup champions will return to South Florida to host the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday and Anaheim Ducks on Saturday. “It’s an unusual schedule this year,” head coach Paul Maurice said.

The Red Wings have been outstanding of late, but Adam Proteau says Detroit still needs trade help if they're to make the Stanley Cup playoffs.

It wasn't the most exciting game. But sometimes, like goals, they don't ask how wins happen; they ask how many.
