Will The Detroit Red Wings Continue Hot Streak vs. Pittsburgh?

Can the Detroit Red Wings continue their hot streak against the Pittsburgh Penguins?

They are riding high going into their nationally televised clash with the Penguins, winning each of their last two games and scoring three goals in their first three.

And they have done so with a balanced attack that stretches up and down the lineup.

After struggling to find scoring from their bottom six last season, the Red Wings have 1o players with at least one goal through three games.

Detroit also has 13 players with at least one point.

The Red Wings are seeing a lot of production from their offseason acquisitions.

Alex DeBrincat has been as advertised after joining the Red Wings via a blockbuster trade, leading the team in goals (three) and points (five).

Free-agent signing J.T. Compher has fit right in on the second line, leading the team in assists (three) and slotting in at second in points (four).

Fellow free-agent singings Daniel Sprong (two goals) and Shayne Gostisbehere (three points) have also slotted in quite nicely.

All of the moves Steve Yzerman made this summer are looking like they are paying off — and it is helping the Red Wings compete with some of the NHL’s best.

And they will have a big test on Wednesday night against the star-studded Penguins.

Pittsburgh made it a point to bolster its already top-loaded roster after missing the playoffs for the first time since 2006 last season.

To add to their long-standing star trio of Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang, the Penguins traded for 2022-23 Norris Trophy winner Erik Karlsson from the San Jose Sharks.

Karlsson is coming off of a 25-goal, 101-point season in San Jose.

Pittsburgh also added 2023 Stanley Cup Champion Reilly Smith via a trade with the Vegas Golden Knights this offseason.

The right winger had 26 goals and 56 points in 78 regular season games and four goals and 14 points in 22 playoff games last year.
