Los Angeles Kings (26-14-6) vs. Detroit Red Wings (23-21-5) When: Monday, January 27 Time: 7 p.m. ET Where: Little Caesars Arena (Detroit, Mich.) Channel: FanDuel Sports Network Detroit Extra, NHL Network DETROIT -- As the curtain rises on the final act of their brief three-game homestand, game #50 of the season has the Detroit Red Wings preparing for a formidable challenge as they host the Los Angeles Kings on Monday night. Although the Red Wings faced a daunting struggle during their recent road trip, managing to secure only one victory out of four matches, they have undeniably rebounded since their return home. After a significant triumph over the Montreal Canadiens, Detroit, led by a spectacular 28-save shutout from Cam Talbot, took down the Tampa Bay Lightning—merely a week after succumbing to the Bolts in Florida. With another pivotal road swing looming on the horizon, securing victories at home is imperative for a Red Wings team still striving to claw their way back into the playoff race. Heading into Monday night, the Wings currently occupy the seventh position in the Atlantic Division, remaining four points adrift of the final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference. On the other hand, the Kings find themselves in a considerably more advantageous position than Detroit. Thanks to the team’s solid defensive structure and stellar performances from key players like goaltender Darcy Kuemper and Anze Kopitar, Los Angeles has managed to hover near the top of the Pacific Division. The Kings currently stand third in the Pacific, trailing the first-place Edmonton Oilers by seven points. This encounter marks the second and final meeting this season between the Wings and Kings, with L.A. victorious in their initial clash in Hollywood back in November. Will the Red Wings seize the moment? The stage is set for an exhilarating showdown! DETROIT RED WINGS TOP 10 LA KINGS TOP 10 RED WINGS 50th (and 51st) GAME(s) HISTORY The 50th game of the 1987-1988 regular season had the Red Wings playing the Toronto Maple Leafs in a Norris Division matchup of bitter rivals! The game ended in a 3-3 tie, but the fisticuffs ran wild in this classic "Fight Night at The Joe!" In a fashion that resembles more recent versions of The Red Wings, they held a 2-0 lead going into the 3rd period, only to be outscored 3-1, with Eddie Olczyk netting the tying goal with 3 seconds left to play in regulation! This was the first game of a classic Norris division Home and Home series on consecutive nights. The following night at Maple Leaf Garden in Toronto, the teams battled to a 5-5 tie. The Red Wings scratched their way to a 3-3 tie when John Chabot "Cha-boom" scored 2 goals in 2 minutes sending the teams into the 2 period break. Then after 2 goals in just over 3 minutes by Steve Chiasson and Steve Yzerman, again, with the Wings were holding a seemingly safe 5-3 lead only to give up 2 unanswered goals by (former Red Wing) Mark Osborne and (future yet brief Red Wing) Wendell Clark. I sure do miss these consecutive night Home and Home series'

Guys, I just met Mike Babcock and he took my phone, looked at my dick pics, and then made me write a list of all the most useless Red Wings this season. At the top of the list is Tarasenko. He’s actively worse than Petry was.
