Marco Kasper scored twice, Lucas Raymond had a goal and three assists, and the Detroit Red Wings rallied to beat the Los Angeles Kings 5-2.

The Detroit Red Wings' future is being shaped by GM Steve Yzerman's front office planning meetings, and by coach Todd McLellan's work with prospects.

After a trio of home wins, the Red Wings will get back on the road as January ends, hoping for better results than the last road trip.

Several hours later, while reflecting on his NHL debut, which saw him record two hits and two takeaways with one blocked shot in 9:50 of ice time in the Red Wings’ 5-2 win over the Los Angeles Kings at Little Caesars Arena, Shine added that the entire day itself was special from start to finish.

The Detroit Red Wings wrapped up a three-game home stand Monday when they hosted the Los Angeles Kings, who jumped out to an early lead thanks partly to a mishap by the Wings – but that only momentarily quieted fans at Little Caesars Arena.

This week goes back eight decades to a night when a grand piano was wheeled to center ice. A member of the Detroit Red Wings then played it, went on to score two goals and win the game and continued to set NHL records.

The Detroit Red Wings believe in themselves again, says new head coach Todd McLellan. That has made all the difference in the world.

In 16 games since McLellan took over, the Red Wings are 11-4-1, riding a three-game win streak as they prepare to head to western Canada on Wednesday. It’s not unusual to see a midseason coaching change bring better results in the NHL, but now more than 30 days in, the Red Wings’ surge has lasted longer than a simple adrenaline rush.

BOTTOM LINE: The Detroit Red Wings face the Los Angeles Kings in a non-conference matchup. Detroit has gone 14-11-2 in home games and 23-21-5 overall. The Red Wings have gone 3-6-3 in games they serve more penalty minutes than their opponents.
