The Detroit Red Wings are looking for a measure of revenge against the Columbus Blue Jackets for yesterday afternoon’s loss.
And of course, a good way to go would be to get one of the leading sources for offense for the Red Wings on the scoresheet.
Forward Anthony Mantha buried 1st goal of the season, firing the puck past goaltender Elvis Merzļikins, who was sliding out of position:

Mantha, who tallied 16 goals in an injury shortened 2019-20 season, is fresh off signing a four-year contract extension during the offseason.
