PREVIEW: Looking for fourth straight victory, Red Wings host Lightning for Star Wars Night Friday

DETROIT – Hoping to maintain their positive momentum from the start of the season, the Detroit Red Wings will look for their fourth straight victory when the Tampa Bay Lightning visit Little Caesars Arena on Friday night.

“It’s been a great start since opening night,” Emmitt Finnie said. “I think we’ve bounced back well in our last three games. We’ve taken it day by day and not gotten too high. We’re just looking forward to playing. [Friday].”

The Red Wings (3-1-0; 6 points) and Lightning (1-2-1; 3 points) are scheduled to drop the puck at 7 p.m., with coverage airing on FanDuel Sports Network Detroit and the Red Wings Radio Network (97.1 The Ticket in Detroit).

Friday’s Atlantic Division matchup also marks Star Wars Night at Little Caesars Arena. Special ticket packages, including a limited edition Star Wars jersey, are still available. And while the light and dark sides of the Force face off on the Via Concourse, the Red Wings are back on the ice following Wednesday night’s 4-1 victory over the two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers.
