▶ Outlook: The Wings open the season against the Penguins, who started their schedule Wednesday against the New York Rangers. The Penguins continue to be led by the Hall of Fame core of Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Kris Letang and Erik Karlsson.

Goalie Ville Husso played his first full game for the Detroit Red Wings since December, when a lower-body injury left him sidelined.

They chased Ville Husso, and made a mockery of the Wings' commitment to puck management. It was only one game, and it's a long season, but the 6-3 loss should rankle the Wings after all their focus during exhibition season on playing better team defense.
