GAME THREAD: Preds @ Red Wings

They call it "Motor City", but as someone who enters Bridgestone Arena through the Nissan entrance, up the escalator to my seats on the Acura Level overlooking the Lexus Lounge while listening to the Ford Keys to the Game, I'm not so sure they can claim that title anymore. But they DO have more Cups than you, in case you weren't aware. It's the second night of a back-to-back, but the NHL preview has Hutton starting again...no morning skate today, so we'll see if that happens soon enough. Also, Anthony Bitetto has been called up from Milwaukee for the first time in his career, so congrats to him!
