Washington Capitals vs Detroit Red Wings: NHL Preseason Live Stream, Schedule, Lineups, and Injury Report, October 5, 2022

The NHL preseason game between the Detroit Red Wings and the Washington Capitals will take place on Wednesday. Detroit will travel to Washington to play its sixth preseason game. Detroit is now 2-3 in the preseason, has four points and is tied for third in the Atlantic division. In their most recent match, the Pittsburgh Penguins defeated the Red Wings 3-2.

This year, Detroit is anticipated to compete for a playoff spot. In the off-season, Detroit brought in several veterans, including Andrew Copp, Ben Chiarot, Olli Maatta, and Dominik Kubalik, but David Perron from St. Louis was the most fascinating addition. Ville Husso, a goalie who now works for Detroit, will assist Alex Nedeljkovic. Moritz Seider is back after winning the Calder Trophy, and Lucas Raymond, who finished third in scoring last year, is also returning.

Washington is 2-1-1 after four preseason games, with two wins, two defeats, and four points. The Capitals lost to Buffalo and Columbus but beat Philadelphia and Detroit. In their most recent game, Washington suffered a road 2-1 defeat to the Columbus Blue Jackets. Although Washington outshot Columbus 33-20, it could only get two shots past Elvis Merzlikins, the goalie for Columbus.

During the summer, Washington brought in several important players, including Gabriel Carlsson on defense, goalkeeper Darcy Kuemper, center Dylan Strome, and right-wing Hunter Brown. Along with defender Justin Schultz, goalies Vitek Vanecek and Ilya Samsonov have left Washington. Returning, 36-year-old veteran Alex Ovechkin will pursue Wayne Gretzky’s record for most goals scored.
