The Pittsburgh Penguins head to the Motor City this Saturday to take on the Detroit Red Wings in a game that promises to be interesting. Both teams have faced tough stretches over the last few games and are nearly desperate to end the week with a win.
The Penguins are hoping to bounce back after two straight losses in a tough back-to-back set. This will be the end of a three-game road trip, and they will be looking to get at least one win out of it. They are currently in 3rd place in the Metropolitan Division.
While Pittsburgh has had a rough week, Detroit has had a rough month. They have three straight and five of their last six, but they are returning home after a tough road trip.

The Red Wings are in 8th place in the Atlantic Division.
Pittsburgh Penguins
Between December 23rd and January 8th, the Penguins won five games in a row but have begun to stumble over the last week. Their last two have been tough road defeats– losing 5-2 at Washington on Wednesday then falling 4-1 at Ottawa the very next day.
That was the first time Pittsburgh had lost two in a row in regulation since December 14th-19th of 2015. Neither of the losses were even close, and the Penguins seemed to be either exhausted or undisciplined, especially in Ottawa where they conceded two goals on five power plays.
Marc-Andre Fleury is 13-6-4 with a 3.12 GAA on the year; against the Red Wings, he is 9-6-1 with a 2.93 GAA. Pittsburgh is 6th in the league with 57 points in 41 games and concede the 12th highest amount on defense, 2.85 per game.
Detroit Red Wings
The Red Wings should be relieved to finally be back home after a terrible five-game road trip in which they won only one game– winning 4-0 at Los Angeles on January 5th.
They were demolished on Thursday by the Dallas Stars 5-2. It was their first home loss to the Stars in the last six years.

Petr Mrazek is 9-11-4 with a 3.19 GAA on the year and is 1-4-0 against the Penguins with a horrible 4.52 GAA So it would not be surprising to see Jared Coreau in net in this one.
Coreau is 3-1-1 this year with a 3.14 GAA but allowed four goals in his career debut against Pittsburgh earlier this year.
Detroit scores the 6th lowest amount of goals per game with only 2.38, and they allow the 8th most on the defensive end, 2.95.
