PLAYER NEWS

Avalanche

Red Wings Jimmy Howard (DET - Goaltender) News: Howard stopped 19 of the 20 shots he faced in Saturday's Game 2 win over Chicago. [+] Impact: After seeing 41 shots fired his way in the series opening loss on Wednesday, Howard had to be happy to see a much more complete effort from the squad in front of him at both ends of the ice Saturday. He'll be in goal for the Wings again when the series heads to Detroit for Game 3. (RotoWire - May 19, 2013) Henrik Zetterberg (DET - Center) News: Zetterberg had a pair of assists, including one on the game-winning tally in the Wings' victory over Chicago on Saturday. [+] Impact: After making a heads-up play in a race to a loose puck in the Hawks' zone, Zetterberg brought the puck behind the Chicago goal line before firing a pass through a defenseman's skates to Brendan Smith at the back door. Aside from his contributions offensively, Zetterberg's value in the series will also come in the form of providing a tough defensive matchup for Hawks captain Jonathan Toews. (RotoWire - May 19, 2013) Drew Miller (DET - Left Wing) News: Miller (hand) will play in Game 2 against Chicago on Saturday, Detroit News writer John Niyo reports. [+] Impact: Miller will displace Todd Bertuzzi from the rotation, giving Detroit a bit more burst on the fourth line. (RotoWire - Sat. May 18, 2013)
