The Detroit Red Wings open a four-game road trip against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday.
With five losses in their last seven games, the Detroit Red Wings open a four-game road trip on Wednesday night looking to avenge an opening night loss to Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins. Since a season-worst six-game losing skid, Pittsburgh has won three of its last six games led by veteran centers Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby who comes into this game two goals away from 600 for his career. After netting five goals in a three-game span, Crosby has been held scoreless in his last three outings. Goals will be at a premium as both teams rank in the bottom third of the NHL in goals per game.
