The Detroit Red Wings have a tough challenge, with the second half of the season kicking off against the Edmonton Oilers. The team’s lack of defense will be tested against two of the NHL's top offensive talents, Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.

This Red Wings rebuild under Yzerman needs to come to fruition soon. I'm getting freaking sick and tired of ALL Detroit teams sucking for a long period of time (save the Lions this last year). It's been basically 7 long pathetic years for all of them. #LGRW

The Bottom Line – Can Detroit Contend with the Oilers' High-Powered Offense?
The Red Wings face a difficult start to the second half of the season with the Oilers in town. With McDavid and Draisaitl leading the charge, the Red Wings must focus on playing strong defense and forcing the Oilers to the outside. Ville Husso will need to bring his best game in net, but it may still not be enough to secure a win against the talented Oilers offense.
