The Detroit Red Wings will face yet another Original Six rival, as they shoot for a third straight win in tonights road test against the Montreal Canadiens. You can listen to the game on TSN Radio 690 Montreal, with coverage beginning at 6pm et. Four of Detroits five games this season have been against fellow Original Six clubs, with a loss on Oct. 11 against the Anaheim Ducks standing as the lone exception. After sweeping a home-and-home series against the Toronto Maple Leafs this weekend, the Red Wings improved to 3-1-1 on the season. Detroit boasts a 3-0-1 mark against the original NHL franchises, and the club will have Pavel Datsyuk in the lineup tonight to help chase another win in Montreal. Datsyuk has been sidelined since suffering a separated shoulder in an exhibition game on Sept. 22, but he could make his season debut on Tuesday. Last season, Datsyuk posted 17 goals and 20 assists despite playing in only 45 games due to various injuries. The Russian star was cleared ahead of tonights tilt, however, Red Wings forward Johan Franzen is not expected to return Tuesday after sitting out the last game with a lower-body injury. Henrik Zetterberg played a big role in the two-game sweep of the Maple Leafs. The Swedish star posted four assists in Fridays 4-1 triumph in Toronto and recorded the game-winning goal with 10 seconds left in overtime to lead his club to a 1-0 decision in the rematch. Zetterberg took a crisp cross-ice pass from Niklas Kronwall in the slot and slapped a shot off the right post past Jonathan Bernier to record the only goal in Saturdays game at Joe Louis Arena. It was a hard-fought game for both teams, said Zetterberg. Goaltending was really good on both sides. Jonas Gustavsson posted a 30-save shutout in his first start of the season in place of starter Jimmy Howard, who was unavailable due to a sore groin. Peter Mrazek served as the backup on Saturday, but Howard expects to return to the starting role tonight with Gustavsson behind him. Mrazek was reassigned to Grand Rapids of the AHL on Monday. The Canadiens also will shoot for a third straight victory tonight after downing Boston and Colorado in their most recent outings. Montreal is 5-1-0 this season after making a surprise run to the Eastern Conference finals last spring. Montreal recorded a 3-2 win over the visiting Avalanche on Saturday, as P.K. Subban scored twice and Carey Price stood tall with 32 saves. The Habs, who also received a goal from Alex Galchenyuk, improved to 2-0 at the Bell Centre this season. The Canadiens scored all three of their goals Saturday in the second period. Subban tied the game with a power-play tally at the 4:13 mark before Galchenyuk scored to make it 2-1 around the midway point of the stanza. Subbans third marker of the season came with just over two minutes left in the period and would stand as the eventual game-winner. Montreal won the final two games against the Red Wings in 2013-14 to earn a split in the season series. The Canadiens have taken three of the last five encounters overall and two of the past three meetings at the Bell Centre.

There is plenty of blame to be shared as a result of the most recent NHL player (Pittsburghs Brooks Orpik) to be evacuated from the ice on a stretcher following an ugly incident Saturday night in Boston. DETROIT -- Robbie Ray provided a glimpse of what the Detroit Tigers saw in him when they acquired the pitching prospect for Doug Fister. Ray gave up one run in his major league debut and got plenty of run support, especially from Miguel Cabrera, to help Detroit rout the Houston Astros 11-4 on Tuesday night for its season-high seventh straight win. When Ray walked off the mound and toward the dugout in the sixth inning, he was given a standing ovation by a crowd that included his mother, father, fiancee and her family. "I did enjoy it," he said. "I started tearing up a little bit." Some of those same fans may have wondered what the Tigers were thinking when they traded a 14-game winner to Washington for the 22-year-old Ray during the off-season. "I got the sense that before today, they didnt know who I was," Ray said. Now, they know and 27,939 fans probably liked what they witnessed from the hard-throwing lefty. Ray (1-0) gave up one run, five hits and a walk, and struck out five in 5 1-3 innings. He probably earned another turn in the rotation because Anibal Sanchez is on the disabled list with a cut on his right middle finger. "Id be surprised if it was somebody else," Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. Ray responded well when Jose Altuve led off the game with a bloop down the right field line, which he turned into a double. Dexter Fowler followed with an infield single after Ray ran past first base when Cabrera tossed him the ball. With the poise Ausmus predicted he would have, Ray struck out the third and fourth batters in Houstons lineup and an inning-inning groundout got him out of the jam. "That was a big inning," Houston manager Bo Porter said. "You have a guy whos making his first major league start on the ropes with the middle of the order coming up. "But to his credit, he was able to get out of it." The former Nationals prospect had a shot to have a scoreless start, but second baseman Ian Kinsler dropped a popup that allowed Fowler to score in the sixth innning.dddddddddddd "Hes got good stuff and a good head on his shoulders," Tigers catcher Alex Avila said. "But people cant -- or shouldnt -- put pressure on the kid about being part of the Fister trade." Cabrera homered in the first inning for his first of four hits and four RBIs. He raised his batting average to .293 after it was .206 on April 21. The reigning two-time AL MVP, who matched a season high with the four hits, had an RBI single in the seventh and a two-run double in the eighth. "Every player goes through a little bit of a lull once in a while," Ausmus said. "Its just that I think Miggy has set such a high standard that people dont expect it." The Tigers scored two runs in the third inning and another in the fourth. J.D. Martinez was the only player in Detroits lineup who did not have a hit until he had an RBI single in the five-run eighth. Houston, which has the worst record in the majors (10-23), lost its fourth straight and sixth in seven games. "Its a little tough, you know," right-hander Josh Fields said after giving up five runs and getting only two outs. "Were struggling. But itll be all right." Brett Oberholtzer (0-6) allowed four runs, nine hits, two sacrifice flies and a walk over six innings. "I thought he did a good job of battling and did a good job of leaving us in a good position when he left the game," Porter said. The Astros bullpen, though, ended any shot of at least staying competitive in the game by giving up seven runs. "Extremely troubled," Porter said. "If our bullpen would have been able to keep it there, it would have been a different ballgame." NOTES: Detroit OF Torii Hunter extended his hitting streak to 13 games and had the first of Detroits three sacrifice flies. ... Porter said RHP Scott Feldman, who has been on the DL since mid-April with right biceps tendinitis, will start Friday at Baltimore and said a decision will be made Wednesday or Thursday about who will be taken out of the rotation.
