Red Wings vs. Blue Jackets | NHL Highlights | December 04, 2025

Thank you very much, Stephen Tors. And 
I’m up here in the booth alone waiting for my partner. I think that he’s going to 
be running in, but we are underway. And let’s take a look at tonight’s starting lineups 
brought to you by American Express. Here comes Detroit. 82 points for Rinsky last 
year. Here’s Finny. Beautiful pass shot saved Raymond who was looking for a hook right 
there on the hands. Sodlam has it. Oneon two, 6′ 8 in tall. Long reach and he used it for 
that wraparound but Ms. Leakkins read it and stopped it. Talbet on Del Baloo. Here’s 
Proarov shot. Another save is kept out. What a play by Ben Sherro. That puck was headed 
for the back of the net. Another shot. Score. Ivan Prover. And Columbus scores the first one. 
It’s one- nothing. line. You could tell how close they were and then they just keep pressing. And 
to me, that’s what’s impressive here to them. Less than a minute to go in the first. Lin in 
front. The puck is loose. It’s loose. Shot. What a save by Ms. Lickens. Cider up top. De Brink and 
Larkin. Excellent power play goal. Scores. Cider to the net. Score. Dylan Market, the high slot 
redirection. We’ve talked about what a power play specialist he is. 13 power play goals, 14 power 
play goals, 16 power play goals the last three seasons. That’s a power play goal to tie the game 
at one. Proving out of the box and Gene Ever from the bench. This is a more classic power play. 
The 131 they have set up here and it’s still in all alone in front. Put I love the way he puts his 
stick out there for a tip. He’s like, “Hey, shoot it right here. I got you. I’m going to tip I’m 
going to tip this puck up and over the glove of Mers Leakens.” And when you’ve got a box penalty 
kill, good job by Larkin. Find that softens to Marenko. Power play has not been great this year, 
especially at home. Marenko shot score. Carell the thrill is back. He’s on the board and he gives 
Columbus a 2-1 lead with the power play goal and it’s a great faceoff win by Shawn Monahan. 
They get possession, they get to work and it’s just a little exchange from down low, up high, 
back to Marenko. Simple play when you get a shot. Calvin’s got to have that one. There’s 
really there’s no traffic in front of him. So, that’s one of those things I think for 
Detroit. I I guess there’s a little side or maybe an outside screen, but nobody 
in tight on top of the goalender. Eight straight games without a goal. No more with 
Glendrom too was so effective for them, especially down the stretch in the third period 
against the Devils. That was on pace for 56 points. That’d be the second highest total 
of his career. Turnover Cinger shot saved by Tyler to score. And Johnson on the doorstep on 
the rebound in front of the net and it’s 3-1. A lot in front in this play. Watch the 
way this comes in. There’s a rebound and there’s just a battle that’s lost right 
there. A race to the puck that Kent Johnson wins and buries the the rebound. You go back 
to their power play goal just 12 seconds in. That to me was important because it built 
that momentum and they took the momentum. The crowd’s into it. These guys are feeling 
it. They’re on their toes. Those two goals were only a minute gave that gave that puck 
up and realized it. He came at him hard to try to rectify his mistake. Raymond walks in 
front. Save by Leakens on Cop. What a save. He’s been great on high danger saves this year. 
Merleans Kane Sandine Pelica out there now. Raymond remains. Shot. Score James Bike in front. 
Not sure if he got a piece of it or if it was just that netfront presence that Todd McClennon was 
talking about. It’s going to be Raymond first to the bench, his 10th of the year. And it’s 3-2 
Columbus. He’s become more of a distributor, but he is the the recipient here of a 
good good play. You got good shot right here. He’s one of those guys that came in as 
a shooter. He started to distribute it more, but I love the decision here. comes 
to the high slot, sees JVR in front, and that’s a big body in front of MS 
Leakans who had made a couple saves. Look, that’s a great angle. Now the Red Wings 
are set up looking to tie the game high across James Van Reike played for the Blue 
Jackets last year, plays for the Wings this year, and he ties the game at three. Two goals in a 
minute and 12 seconds on the power play. Well, how about three for four on the power play 
so far for the Detroit Red Wings. Here’s a look. Watch. Watch right there. Elvis does not 
like JVR right there. Last time he was there, he scored on him and then it goes across and he 
just keeps jamming at it. The way that Van Reike moves out from being a a pest and being a netfront 
presence in the sense of a screen to backing out, finding the space and presenting his stick for a 
pass. That’s the what thing you need from a net front. You need to understand when you’re there 
to create a screen and that’s when Torch led the boys to a 2019 sweep with Tampa Bay. Edmonson 
joke to the net. Blocked saved and covered. Power play goals has been a story tonight for both teams. Gorensky fill score. 
Holy snikes a booming slap shot. He got all of that. That was quite a one-time 
from Fantelia. Perfect pass. Watch this. Right off the draw. Mahan, as I said, been great at 
the draw. He loses the first one, but he wins that one clean. that sets it up and everyone goes 
left, the puck goes back right and then boom, Fanti just delivers. What a goal. 10th goal of 
the year for Adam Fantelli. He had no points in four games coming in. Slow start. Then 
he went on a heater when he was put on the Marenko line called as Marenko went out of the 
lineup. Marenko back in Fantelli back on the boards. Danielson the youngster. Nice pass. So 
block shot saved in the air and Denver’s Lucas can’t catch it. Another rebound. Another save 
with the left pass. Prov scored in the first. One- nothing after one. Then Larkin Marenko 
power play goals. Kent Johnson even strength. Raymond power play. Van Reamed power play 
rebound. Two save by Mak. Here’s a look at some of Elvis Mleens work here early in 
the third period. Good early save and then looking lively and well positioned for that 
second chance number 53 opportunity. Detroit has it again. Shot. Another shoulder save. High 
in the air it goes. And Columbus out of danger. 16-1 in favor of Columbus on the hits 
as Patrick Kane has room. Kane shot. He’s got it in. career goal. 496 for 
Patrick Kane who ties the game at four. Long stretch. And how about this? You get a 
change, right? So that’s a perfect time to change. You got offensive zone time, a little breather 
while the puck’s there. And Patrick King, the guy who comes on fresh legs, takes advantage of some 
tired Blue Jackets, and he just rips a shot. It’s not necessarily a hard shot. Here he comes off 
the bench, reads it, and look at all this ice he has. You got a a blue jacket that’s covering over 
here, the other uh number 77 there. So then Kane has this Broadway come game. 13-21 for the 37y 
old. Fourth goal of the year. And you’re talking about his goals. Really what Patrick Kane’s 
good at is distributing. to break it. Scores and the Wings have the lead five to four. 
You take notice of and these two together, they have an incredible chemistry going back to 
the Chicago days together. Patrick Kane does a good job of getting on site and then he comes in 
and imagine so you’re the defenseman here, right? You got Jinka coming across. You got Patrick King 
coming the other way and it’s cop, excuse me, as a defenseman. He’s got Fent Tilly right behind him 
on his strong side. Face off though. Won nicely there by the Wings. Comes to Winsky. Columbus 
set up to tie the game. Fanty shot. Score. We are tied in Columbus. Watch this off the face off. It is a great play by 
Shawn Monahan. You said it was a win by the Wings. Van Tilly jumps on the loose and then that puck. 
So many bodies in front of Talbot and Van Tilly does a good job getting to this space recognizing 
and then it goes off the defenseman there. Johansson. Yes, good good eyes. AJ that went 
straight down the ice and beat Talbet five holes. Nice play by Cinger to erase Raymond 
who’s slow getting up. Cylinger has it. Twoon one if they hurry. Coyle coming 
late. Cylinger shot saved by Talbot. Got to close your five hole if you’re Cam Talbot 
against Kent Johnson. Let’s see where he goes. extra what you expect out of a player and they 
love to go five hole or whatever it is and if you’re a goalender by the way you know 
that he’s got to score here or Columbus will have two chances to win either a goal 
or another save Raymond on Mars Leakans fiery play both good and bad and 
here as he comes across here. You can see that Lucas Raymond’s trying to 
from Mars Leakens to Marenko 67%. He’s got mits of Marinara. Plenty of filth in 
his game to win the game for Columbus. is here tonight. And watch this eyes up the whole 
way for a goalender. He thinks he’s coming in. He freezes Cam Talbot and then just dishes it. Little 
bit of five hole right on the ice. You mentioned that’s what we expected to see from Kent Johnson. 
He’s even out a little bit further. He’s up the
