One night after a rout of the Buffalo Sabres, the Detroit Red Wings are back at it, visiting the Dallas Stars.

The Red Wings will make some lineup changes to combat the weariness of games in consecutive nights. Mike Commodore swaps in on defense for Jakub Kindl while Jan Mursak will take Cory Emmerton's spot on the fourth line. Ty Conklin will get the start in goal, giving Jimmy Howard a night off.

Entering the night in fifth place in the Western Conference, the Red Wings could jump to first place with a win.

Game time is 8:30 PM with TV by FSD.

Homer and a slapshot from the blueline is like Shaq and free throws... Pointless! Homer and a slapper from 15 feet? Money!

[YzerFan19]

Love the Homer slapper. I was late getting the game on, tuned in just in time for it.

Why is it... They swap the young guys because of "weariness"? I don't think they have the issue.

[SYfanSD]

Well sh*t... You knew that was coming with a weak ass penalty kill.

[YzerFan19]

At least that wasn't because of Conklin. Deflected in front.

Good point.

[SYfanSD]

Was that clean? Or a short guy on tall big guy issue?

[SYfanSD]

How does that happen?

[YzerFan19]

FSD taking all those pains to point out Eriksson played that with a broken stick... Playing the puck with a broken stick is a penalty.

And that brings me to my next point... You forgot the fine print... "with the exception of playing against Detroit"

[SYfanSD]

Thoughts on the first?

[YzerFan19]

Could have been better, could have been worse. Worried they'll just get more tired from here.

[SYfanSD]

Why is it, i see a road game and immediately become concerned with the outcome?

[SYfanSD]

I'll take it.

[YzerFan19]

Goofy bounce in Detroit's favor. Alright.

[SYfanSD]

Damn. Stuart is already a UFA? Where does time go?

[YzerFan19]

For a team that played last night, Wings skating really well in the third.

This terrifies me. I think he wants to leave.
