The Daily: Red Wings Skid Hits Four; Michkov Leak by Weekes

The Detroit Red Wings lost their fourth game in a row 3-2 last night to the St. Louis Blues despite one of John Gibson ‘s best performances of the year in his return from injury. Mo Seider brought the Red Wings within one goal with just over a minute to spare in the game, but Detroit was ultimately unable to generate the offensive push to send the game to overtime in Justin Faulk ‘s first return to Enterprise Center. Last night also saw the return of Marco Kasper and Mason Appleton to the lineup , though neither were able to provide the Red Wings with the energy needed to win the game. Kasper started on the third line, though he did see some time on the top line with Emmitt Finnie and Alex DeBrincat . If the change remains for the Red Wings Thursday night matchup is yet to be seen, however. The third year forward did have his most success on the top line wing in his rookie season. Still, the Red Wings find themselves in need of productive scoring depth, likely by finding a trade partner for former top line center Dylan Larkin . Adding a wrinkle to the Red Wings current roster holdouts is a report by ESPN’s Kevin Weekes that Flyers forward Matvei Michkov wants out of Philadelphia. The Flyers are reportedly interested in both Larkin and unsigned Red Wings RFA Simon Edvinsson , though Larkin does not have the City of Brotherly Love on his current trade list. Meanwhile, the New Jersey Devils six game win streak probability dropped to zero last night after the Winnipeg Jets put four goals up on backup netminder Jake Allen and the Devils last night. In Case You Missed It The Red Wings are relying more on their other big Swedish defenseman, William Wallinder. PWHL Detroit is dead, long live the Detroit Clutch . You wouldn’t catch Red Wings legend Dominik Hasek ducking his former team like Connor Hellebuyck . Red Wings Extra It was on this day 64 years ago that Red Wings goalie Terry Sawchuk hit a big milestone with the franchise, collecting his 350th career win in a 3-2 victory over the New York Rangers. Sawchuk would play until the 1969-70 season, collecting 455 total wins across his 21 year career, spending 14 of them with Detroit, and winning 350 total games in a Red Wings uniform.
