Detroit's defense is very difficult to call reliable. In the last three matches, the Wings have conceded 13 times, while the hosts still do not have the first number on the gate. Alex Lyon is likely to replace Cameron Talbo after the match against Minnesota. This season, the American has reflected only 90.40% of shots, so the guests should score at least three times without a problem.

Krylia continues to produce productive games and constantly delighted hockey fans with bright matches before the break.
