"We're once again asking Red Wings fans to rally together for children affected by cancer in our community and beyond," said Kevin Brown, Ilitch Sports + Entertainment director of community impact. "Through generous support from Comerica Bank, as well as proceeds from our week-long auction and several in-arena initiatives, we're raising awareness and pushing one step closer to finding a cure to defeat this awful disease."

Detroit kicked off a season-long five-game homestand on Wednesday by blanking the Nashville Predators, 3-0.
With the victory, the Red Wings reached the 10-win mark in their 19th game of the season, marking the fastest the club has reached double-digit wins since going 10-4-5 to open the 2014-15 campaign.
"Guys played well," said Red Wings goalie Ville Husso, who stopped all 26 shots he faced on Wednesday for his NHL-leading third shutout of the season. "Blocked shots, especially in the third period. It's just good to see. But we still need to get better, and I think everybody knows that. There's still a lot of games ahead of us."
