A huge 2-point win against the New York Rangers would be a great start and coach Derek Lalonde is attempting to set up the team for success.
As Max Bultman of The Athletic reported Lalonde had set lines and changed things up again for the Red Wings.
His goal is of course to secure a win and in order to do so, Lalonde has paired Alex DeBrincat and Patrick Kane on the first line, with center Dylan Larkin.
The Wings desperately need a win to help secure the 2nd Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference.
It's not surprising Lalonde has reassembled this line, as they are some of the best 5v5 forwards on the team this year.
A number of Red Wings played significant five-on-five minutes Wednesday and emerged with great shares of on-ice xG. Those include Dylan Larkin (55.1% in 15:55), Alex DeBrincat (57.2% in 15:25), J.T.
