News: Kindl scored his first career playoff goal, which stood as the eventual game-winner in Thursday's victory over Chicago. [+]
Impact: For a player who struggled at times to stay in the regular blue-line rotation last season, Kindl's emergence over the course of the year has been a huge boost to the Wings as they had to adjust to life without Nicklas Lidstrom heading up their blue-line corps this season. Although his offensive contributions are not elite, Kindl's expanded role put him on pace for a 26-point season if projected over a typical 82-game slate. ( RotoWire - Fri. May 24, 2013) |
News: Howard stopped all 28 shots he faced Thursday against Chicago in a winning effort. [+]
Impact: Corey Crawford played well at the other end, but the Wings were able to find the back of the net in the second period for the eventual game-winning tally before Daniel Cleary found an empty net in the final minute of the third period. Although the Wings have a 3-1 lead in the series, Howard needs to stay sharp with the return to Chicago for Game 5 on Saturday. ( RotoWire - Fri. May 24, 2013) |
News: Helm (back) will not return during the Red Wings' second round series against the Blackhawks but hasn't given up hope of coming back later on if the team advances, MLive.com reports. [+]
Impact: A setback with Helm's injury, suffered two-and-a-half weeks ago in practice, led the Wings to decide to give the 26-year-old an extended rest. He said he feels pretty good and thinks he could get onto the ice right now, but added that that method hasn't worked for him so they're trying a new approach. Also, Helm said there has not been any discussion of having the back operated on this summer. ( RotoWire - Wed. May 22, 2013) |
