Red Wings at Golden Knights preview

RED WINGS (3-1-0) at GOLDEN KNIGHTS (3-0-0)
10:30 p.m. ET; ATTSN-RM, FS-D, NHL.TV

This is the second of a seven-game homestand for the Golden Knights. Forward James Neal, who leads Vegas with five goals (tied for second in the NHL), is the fourth player in the expansion era to score in each of his team's first three games.
Detroit is coming off a 4-2 win against Arizona on Thursday. Forward Martin Frk scored his Red Wings-leading third goal.

Players to watch

Red Wings forward Dylan Larkin has five points (one goal, four assists) and has had at least one in each of their four games.
Golden Knights forward Tomas Nosek will play against his former team for the first time since Vegas selected him in the NHL Expansion Draft on June 21. Nosek, who played 17 games for Detroit over the past two seasons, scored Vegas' first home goal Tuesday.

They said it

"It's one thing to score, that's obviously a weapon [Frk] brings. But he's doing all the other little things really well -- he's making real good plays on the wall, he's responsible, all the things that gives a coach confidence. He's doing a great job and I'm really happy for him." -- Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill
"You watch a team like them, they've got some real good, young talent. The Detroit identity is still there. They're hardworking, they've got some skill and talent. They're a dangerous team in that offensive zone." -- Golden Knights coach Gerard Gallant
