Wings beat Dallas for second game in a row

Once again homework has the priority…but the Red Wings won 4-2 last night and looked very strong in the parts of the game that I did see. It looks like lines are starting to gel and things are looking good. Draper and Maltby are as good as ever. Draper had two goals yesterday and looked very strong. It seems as if the year off really hasn’t affected those two. Datsyuk was in Ken Holland’s office today to sign his contract and he’ll be in the lineup on Wednesday in Colorado. Good news for Wings fans is also that Henrik Zetterberg should be able to get back on the ice this week and start skating after suffering that hip flexor injury. Tune in tomorrow night, at nine, to see the Wings face off against the Colorado Avalanche.  Hopefully tomorrow night’s lineups will be closer to that which will play in the regular season. GO WINGS!

Looks like Draper is going to have a career year!!! I'm looking for him to have AT LEAST 30 goals! (As long as he stays healthy...)

I completely agree Jason...Draper could be a leading scorer this year....at least 30 sounds about right...

Hey Jordan, do you know if they'll be counting goals scored in the shootout into their official season stats? If that's the case, I feel confident saying Draper will have at least 35 then...

I don't think it counts. I was watching the game the other night and I know if Draper scored in the shootout that it wouldn't count as a hat trick. I think the shootout statistics will be kept seperately. I'm gonna look around and see but as of right now I don't think so.

according to http://proicehockey.about.com
"Goals scored during the shootout do not count towards a player's total goals. Goals allowed during the shootout are not added to the goaltender's total goals against."

so there's the answer, I guess I should have looked alittle before I responded. I think even without that Draper could have 35. But I'll go with 30 for now...and at christmas, maybe I'll change my mind :-D
