Mattias Janmark Jersey , but it’s been even longer since the Detroit Red Wings went winless in their first three games.The Ducks will have a chance to keep Detroit without a victory when they host the Red Wings in their home opener Monday night at Honda Center.Detroit (0-1-1) hasn’t gone without a win through its first three games since the 1991-92 season. The Red Wings regrouped to post the top record in the Campbell Conference that year.Article continues below ...The Ducks will try to start 3-0-0 for the first time since the 2006-07 season, which culminated with their only Stanley Cup title.Both teams are dealing with injuries to some of their most veteran players.Ducks captain Ryan Getzlaf left in the third period of a 1-0 win at the Arizona Coyotes on Saturday night because of a lower-body injury and his status for Monday’s game was unknown as of Sunday afternoon.He joins a long list of injured veteran forwards for the Ducks. Corey Perry had knee surgery late last month and is out for five months. Ryan Kesler and Patrick Eaves have not returned to action as they recover from surgeries, and Ondrej Kase is sidelined indefinitely with a concussion.Anaheim has been forced to insert four rookie forwards into the lineup, but they are holding their own so far.Max Comtois scored in both wins, becoming the first Anaheim rookie to score in his first two games to start a season.“He’s definitely brought a lot of energy,” said Ducks defenseman Cam Fowler, who assisted on Comtois’ goal on Saturday night. “All of our young players have been expected to make a big impact on our team early and I think they’ve done a great job of that.”Adam Henrique filled Getzlaf’s spot as the top line center during practice Sunday with Rickard Rakell and rookie Troy Terry on his wings.Another rookie, Sam Steel, centered the second line with Comtois and Jakob Silfverberg on his wings.The Red Wings will be without veteran defensemen Jonathan Ericsson and Niklas Kronwall
Radek Faksa Jersey , both of whom are nursing upper-body injuries that have delayed the start of their seasons.Detroit also lost defenseman Trevor Daley to an upper body injury in the first period in a 4-2 loss at the Los Angeles Kings on Sunday night and he will miss Monday’s game. The Red Wings played the remainder of the game with five defensemen, including three rookies.“All we can do is focus on making sure that we’re getting better here, and I thought again there was a lot of things we did good,” Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill said. “We’ve got to make sure we repeat a lot of that performance tomorrow night and find a way to score a bit more.”Kronwall, 37, was second on the team in scoring among defenseman last season with 27 points (four goals, 23 assists). He’s in his 14th season with Detroit.Ericsson, 34, is in his 11th season with the Red Wings.Detroit goaltender Jimmy Howard is expected to start after former Anaheim goalie Jonathan Bernier played against the Kings on Sunday.Howard is 10-6-2 in his career against the Ducks with a .925 save percentage and 2.28 goals-against average. He has three shutouts against Anaheim
Authentic Stephen Johns Jersey , which matches the most against any team.Ducks goalie John Gibson is off to a hot start with two goals allowed in the first two games. He’s 4-3-0 in his career against the Red Wings with a .917 save percentage and 2.20 GAA CHICAGO (AP) Michael Stone shot the puck and it ended up in the back of the net. That was Stone’s story, and those were the most important details for the Calgary Flames.Stone scored with 3:30 left on a shot that appeared to be tipped in by Johnny Gaudreau, and the Flames won 3-2 on Tuesday night, beating the Chicago Blackhawks for the second straight game.Dougie Hamilton and Sean Monahan also scored for Calgary (27-18-8), and Mike Smith made 34 saves in the opener of a six-game trip. The Flames topped the Blackhawks 4-3 Saturday night on Monahan’s overtime goal in Calgary.”A good way to start the road trip,” Stone said. ”We need these points right now and hopefully we can keep the momentum going.”Stone connected on a rising shot from the right point, giving Calgary a 2-1 lead. Gaudreau and Flames coach Glen Gulutzan said the star forward got a piece of it with the shaft of his stick, but Stone was credited with his third goal of the season.”I just shot it,” Stone said. ”I didn’t even know it went in the net
Youth Tyler Pitlick Jersey , to be honest with you, so I’ll take that one.”Gaudreau had two assists, giving him a team-high 45 on the season. He was OK with missing out on his 17th goal.”I’m just happy the team got the win,” he said. ”Stoner, you know, it was a great shot.”The Blackhawks challenged the play, arguing Gaudreau’s stick was above the crossbar when it touched the puck. But it was ruled “Stone’s shot entered the Chicago net in a legal fashion.”Alex DeBrincat and Patrick Kane scored for last-place Chicago (24-21-8), which has dropped three in a row. Jeff Glass finished with 20 stops.”I don’t know what to say right now. It’s pretty frustrating,” captain Jonathan Toews said. ”I thought we played pretty good hockey at times. Had a lot of good chances. We should be able to find ways to win games even if we give up two or three.”After Monahan added an empty-netter at 18:09
Tyler Seguin Jersey , the Blackhawks got one back on Kane’s team-best 21st goal with just a couple of seconds remaining. Coach Joel Quenneville then used his timeout, but Chicago was unable to come up with the tying score.”That was a tough one,” Quenneville said. ”We had power plays to get us an opportunity to go ahead, and tie it.”The Blackhawks got off to a nice start in their first home game since Jan. 24. With Flames forward Micheal Ferland in the penalty box for boarding, DeBrincat beat a screened Smith with a wrist shot from the top of the right circle 3:35 into the first.It was DeBrincat’s fifth goal in the last five games. The rookie winger is second on the team with 19 goals on the season.Calgary had a 5-on-3 power play for 100 seconds late in the first, but Chicago killed it off. Glass made three saves while the Blackhawks were short-handed.The Flames responded with Hamilton’s ninth goal 1:10 into the second. Monahan and Hamilton skated in for a 2-on-1, and Monahan’s centering pass went off Hamilton’s left skate and into the net.The Blackhawks appeared to get the go-ahead goal off a wild scramble in front 3:53 into the second, but it was waved off after a long delay. The on-ice call was upheld by the referees, but Calgary challenged for goaltender interference and the replay review took Ryan Hartman’s score off the board.”What we saw when I looked at it was that we didn’t push anybody into the goalie
