ESPN NHL Scores: Chicago Blackhawks  vs. Detroit Red Wings

The Detroit Red Wings have lost two straight and are starting to look more like the hockey team they were predicted to be. More losses, regardless of the opponent, should be their future.

The Chicago Blackhawks have won 6-straight and the National Media attributes the streak to Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews playing together. Can they make it to seven games?

Detroit Red Wings

The Detroit Red Wings lost their 3-game winning streak to the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday night. As an attendee of the game, you could visibly see the lack of speed and pace from the Red Wings as well as the injured state of star player Dylan Larkin.

Even while injured, Dylan Larkin is leading the way for this group. His 52 points in 54 games are a sneeze away from being a point-per-game, but it is even more impressive when you consider his low PDO score of 98.1 and his low oiSH% of 7.8%.

The Red Wings are still in the middle of the league when it comes to shot% (9.5) and save% (90.3), but their devastatingly low CorsiFor% (47.5) will ensure the losses will continue to come.

Chicago Blackhawks

The Chicago Blackhawks have won 6-straight and you’d be hard pressed to find a box score that doesn’t include Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews. For years the two had been separated to create balance on the roster, but as the team continued to fall in that standings, this felt like a last resort.

Patrick Kane is playing at an MVP caliber pace this season. His 79 points correlate with his 102 PDO score. The score isn’t in that zone of statistically significant (meaning his numbers should come down), but his oiSH% is. At 12.4%, Kane May have seen a dip in his numbers, but putting Jonathan Toews on his line ensures it would have to be a catastrophic meltdown, for major changes to occur.

Toews and Kane being reunited have definitely curbed the chances of the offense losing any momentum.
