Red Wings clash with Utah Mammoth in pivotal division showdown tonight

The Detroit Red Wings will face the Utah Mammoth at Little Caesars Arena on Wednesday night. Both teams enter the match fresh from games the previous evening, with the Red Wings securing a key win against the New York Islanders. Fans can catch the action live on TNT, truTV, or via streaming on HBO Max, with puck drop scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

The Red Wings head into the game on strong form, having won six of their last nine matches. Their latest victory—a 4-2 win over the Islanders—saw Alex DeBrincat net two power-play goals in the third period. That result pushed Detroit back to the top of the Atlantic Division.

The outcome could impact playoff positioning for both teams. Detroit aims to maintain its division lead, while Utah looks to close the gap for a Wild-Card berth. The game will be broadcast on TNT, truTV, and streamed on HBO Max at 7:30 p.m.
