It\u2019s not too often a guy goes from seventh round draft pick to NHL first line in under three years!<\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">The Pens have struggled mightily in recent years against the DeBrincat-Larkin-Raymond combo, which fortunately for Pittsburgh has been slightly split up for the time being. 2024-25 was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pensburgh.com\/2025\/6\/15\/24449195\/the-biggest-penguin-killers-in-the-nhl-for-2024-25\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a slight down season<\/a> for the three against Pittsburgh, \u2018the Cat\u2019 and Raymond still managed to each record five points in three games.

They have done really well at finding time, space and then filling up the net against the Pens in recent years after making a series of high-skilled passes, plays and shots. Of course, all are talented players that produce points against just about everyone, it\u2019s just at times they\u2019ve taken it to a different level and absolutely wrecked games with bursts of brilliance against the Pens who have looked powerless at times to stop those skilled players. So, uh, good luck!<\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">Is this going to be the year the Yzer-plan finally bears fruit and gets Detroit back into the playoffs for the first time since 2016? They\u2019re right in the mix, being in first can give a little bit of a false sense of security since some Atlantic teams are right on Detroit\u2019s heels. To make matters worse for them, the two Florida teams have really gotten things in gear the last 15, 20 games to keep the pressure up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">(Note: does not include last night\u2019s game)<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"_1eezmj01\" href=\"https:\/\/platform.pensburgh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/123\/2025\/12\/detrd.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0,100,100\" data-pswp-height=\"692\" data-pswp-width=\"721\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img alt=\"\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"w91vxg0\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' %3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='sRGB'%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3CfeColorMatrix values='1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 -1' result='s'\/%3E%3CfeFlood x='0' y='0' width='100%25' height='100%25'\/%3E%3CfeComposite operator='out' in='s'\/%3E%3CfeComposite in2='SourceGraphic'\/%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3C\/filter%3E%3Cimage width='100%25' height='100%25' x='0' y='0' preserveAspectRatio='none' style='filter: url(%23b);' href='data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mN8+R8AAtcB6oaHtZcAAAAASUVORK5CYII='\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;)\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/detrd.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul class=\"duet--article--unordered-list _1nfb3k4i feuejx0 ls9zuh1\">\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">The injury situation has been extremely favorable for the Red Wings in the first half of a season where injuries have been up across the league this year. Detroit has only used 24 different skaters and two goalies (compared to the Pens 33 and 4, respectively) and almost all their key pieces have been healthy enough to play in just about all of the games except for Patrick Kane. Availability can build chemistry and cohesion, it\u2019s been a good formula for Detroit so far.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">There\u2019s a pretty good case to be made that Moritz Seider is the best defender in the NHL, some may prefer the sublime skills of Cale Makar (and it\u2019s hard to argue against it) but Seider deserves to be mentioned right in the tippy top with the Makar\u2019s, Quinn Hughes\u2019s, Miro Heiskanen\u2019s and Zach Werenski\u2019s of the very best around.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Seider ranks 19th in the NHL among defensemen in hits (69) and eighth in blocked shots (87), while being sixth in points, putting up 24 points (6G+18A) in the last 26 games. He\u2019s right up <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/WingedWheelPod\/status\/2002786256824984001\">there in goals<\/a> against replacement in the whole league, all while averaging just over 25 minutes per game. Still at just 24-years old, Seider is an amazing force multiplier right now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><strong>Key matchup: Similar styles<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">In a lot of ways the statistical matchup for this game is the meme of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/MemeRestoration\/comments\/eq1jwh\/i_restored_in_hd_4k_the_original_spiderman\/#lightbox\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">two Spiderman\u2019s pointing<\/a> at each other.

Both are bottom-half of the league in terms of 5v5 Corsi, Fenwick and expected goals against. Both have very good power plays and middle-of-the-road penalty kills. There are some differences; Detroit has struggled to finish chances, which results in a weak 5v5 actual goals. The Penguins have had better overall goaltending, though that number could be said to be stronger than the current goaltending on hand.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Overall it makes for two teams with similar styles and outlooks. Both are likely to generate a lot, and also give up a lot and have net advantages on special teams due to their strong power plays. Since the Red Wings played and traveled last night, the onus will fall to the Pens to take advantage of that situation and playing a backup goalie in Talbot who hasn\u2019t exactly been stingy this season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Rickard Rakell &#8211; Sidney Crosby &#8211; Bryan Rust<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Anthony Mantha &#8211; Tommy Novak &#8211; Justin Brazeau<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Ville Koivunen &#8211; Ben Kindel &#8211; Rutger McGroarty<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Connor Dewar &#8211; Blake Lizotte &#8211; Noel Acciari<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Parker Wotherspoon \/ Erik Karlsson<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Brett Kulak \/ Kris Letang<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Ryan Shea \/ Jack St. Ivany<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><strong>Goalies: <\/strong> Stuart Skinner and Arturs Silovs<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><strong>Potential Scratches:<\/strong> Yegor Chinakhov (?), Kevin Hayes, Connor Clifton<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><strong>IR:<\/strong> Evgeni Malkin, Filip Hallander, Caleb Jones<\/p>\n<ul class=\"duet--article--unordered-list _1nfb3k4i feuejx0 ls9zuh1\">\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">The Pens were off yesterday, which will make today\u2019s morning skate worth watching for accurate lines.

Koivunen stands out as a possible target there.<\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">The goalie decision will be an interesting one to track too. Skinner is coming off a great game making 27 stops on 28 shots against Carolina, do the Pens give him a little bit of a chance to run with it? Silovs has won two straight games for himself and wouldn\u2019t be a bad choice to go back to either.
