\nThe Red Wings had come back from the Olympic break hot, scoring 20 goals in compiling a 3-1-1 record in their first five games after the break. The team would love to regain that kind of form right about now, but instead the team has just scored just three times in its last four games, and is really feeling the absence of top centers Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg. Things haven\u2019t been any better in goal, as Jimmy Howard has gone 1-3-1 with a 2.91 GAA in his last five starts.<\/p>\n
That could pose a problem against a Leafs team that hasn\u2019t had trouble scoring the puck. Leading scorer Phil Kessel will look to pad his already solid stats against the Red Wings \u2013 he has eight points in a six-game point streak against Detroit.<\/p>\n
The Red Wings have seen their home ice advantage diminish in value this season, and they now are desperate for a win with their backs against the wall. As for the Maple Leafs, they have been the better squad of late, and will look to get back on the winning track after a loss in the nation\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n
The Maple Leafs are 5-2 in the last seven meetings between these teams, and are 9-2 in their last 11 games against divisional opponents.<\/p>\n
The Red Wings are 3-14 in their last 17 games played on a Tuesday, and 0-8 in their last eight games played on one day\u2019s rest.<\/p>\n
