The Detroit Red Wings hailed great eras of their club at Little Caesars Arena this Sunday, as part of Motor City hockey’s centennial celebration. It was nice to see that this year’s team is getting pretty good too. The Red Wings beat the Washington Capitals 3-2 on defenseman Moritz Seider’s sixth goal of the campaign, notching Detroit’s seventh win in the last nine games. The 21-13-3 Red Wings will try to keep their momentum going with a victory over the Dallas Stars at 6:30 p.m. EST this Tuesday evening.

Detroit’s degree of difficulty goes up as the Red Wings’ home stand comes to a close. The 25-7-5 Dallas Stars have won four out of five road games, including an 8-3 blowout of the Anaheim Ducks last Friday. Dallas has not met Detroit since April 14 of last season, when the Red Wings tripped the Stars 6-4.

The Stars are still playing second fiddle to the 26-2-7 Colorado Avalanche in the Central Division race, but as a pair, the clubs are pacing the National Hockey League in 2025-26. One bright spot for Detroit is that Dallas has not flourished in interconference contests, winning just four out of 10 in regulation thus far.

Seider is garnering a buzz as a potential Norris Trophy candidate. The 6-foot-2 linchpin’s 21 assists rank second on the team, backed up by defensive skills and bodychecking that opens up space for the Red Wings’ transition passes. Seider’s point-per-game streak over the last 10 games moves Bob Duff of Detroit Hockey Now to confirm, “there’s been another giant step forward within Seider’s game.” 

Detroit’s netminders John Gibson and Cam Talbot are credited for steering a home-and-home sweep of Washington. Tuesday’s starter will have his work cut out against a Dallas club that’s boasting snipers like Jason Robertson, mixed with Mikko Rantanen’s speed and the attacking defenseman Miro Heiskanen.

Most of this year’s Stars lineup can recall owning an eight-game winning streak against the Red Wings. They’ll arrive hoping to strut their stuff and shoot down an upstart in the Western Conference. But the Red Wings pose different threats than Anaheim or Toronto, with as much momentum at their backs as the Stars at the moment. Look for the total to go over in an intense, entertaining battle on Tuesday.
