Red Wings vs Dallas Stars Preview | November 16, 2021 Let's take a look at the top 5 storylines revolving around the Red Wings November 16th matchup with the Dallas Stars. These five storylines will either be our preseason for victory or defeat. 5. Special Teams PP% DALLAS STARS 29.41% DETROIT RED WINGS 15.09% PK% DAL 75% DET 77.19% 4. This will be the Detorit Red Wings 3rd Game in 4 nights Dallas has played 4 games over the last 10 days 3rd back-to-back game for Red Wings (2-1-0, in-game 2): 6-3 Win vs Chicago 4-5 Loss vs Toronto 5-2 Win vs VGK 3. The Red Wings need to score first. The Washington Capitals and Montreal Canadiens played back-to-back games against the Red Wings showing a trap defensive style that was very effective against the Red Wings offense. To avoid this, the Red Wings need to score first to keep their opponents pushing, rather than having the luxury of sitting back. 2. The Red Wings need to count on secondary scoring, again. The 1st line's performance was not enough against the Blue Jackets. The likes of Filip Zadina is prime target to step and score. 1. The goaltender matchup is very key. Alex Nedeljkovic is making room between himself and Thomas Greiss as the number one goaltender on the team. His aggressive and risky style is paying off. The Dallas Stars are putting Jake Oettinger on the ice, in his first contest of the season. Oettinger was in the net for Robby Fabbri's hat trick last season and Jakub Vrana's 4 goal night. Can another scorer step up tonight?
