Hot: Detroit’s Alex DeBrincat has scored 10 goals in his past 12 games. Team USA has to give him strong consideration for the U.S. Olympic team.

Not:  Ben Chiarot is minus-7 in his past six games. How much of that is his performance and how much of reflects that he is partnered with rookie Axel Sandin-Pellikka who is prone to defensive mistakes at this point in his career.

Spotlight: Defenseman Moritz Seider has put up 15 points (3-12-15) and a plus-six rating in 12 games since Nov. 13 vs. Anaheim. Seider is the fifth German-born defenseman in NHL history to record 200 career points, joining Christian Ehrhoff (339), Willie Huber (321), Uwe Krupp (281) and Dennis Seidenberg (251).

Story:  John Gibson seems like the likely goalie, although there is nothing official.., The Red Wings beat the Kraken 4-2 18 days ago in Detroit…The Red Wings earned points in their last three games, but they have lost five of their last six…The Red Wings’ power play (23.7%) ranks 7th, and their penalty kill (77.6%) is 24th…The Red Wings now rank 27th with a 3.46 GAA.  Injuries: Mason Appleton (lower-body injury) won’t play today. He’s expected to be out of the lineup a few more days.
