vs. Detroit, 7, FSN Prime

Site -- Honda Center.

Radio -- 830.

Records -- Ducks 5-5-0, Red Wings 7-1-1.

Record vs. Red Wings (2007-08) -- 2-1-1.

Update -- After sweeping a four-game trip the Ducks return home for nine of their next 10 games. Center Ryan Getzlaf has revived after a slow start, scoring three goals and five points in his last three games. The Ducks lost defenseman Ken Klee to Phoenix on reverse waivers and must pay half of his $1.25-million salary. He played only three games after being acquired in the Mathieu Schneider trade. The Red Wings have won five straight and beat the Kings in a shootout, 4-3, on Monday. They’re 2-0 on a trip that goes to San Jose Thursday and Vancouver on Sunday.
