| | | DETROIT: LAST SEASON: 39-28-15, 93 points. Lost in first round of playoffs.
COACH: Mike Babcock, 10th season with Red Wings, 415-198-91; 12th overall in NHL.
ADDED: C Andy Miele, C Kevin Porter.
LOST: RW Mikael Samuelsson, C Cory Emmerton, C David Legwand, RW Todd Bertuzzi.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Gustav Nyquist. The 25-year-old Swede is coming off a breakout season in which he scored a team-high 28 goals in only 57 games. If the Red Wings are going to return to the NHL's elite, they're going to need younger players like Nyquist to grow into significant roles alongside aging stars like Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk.
OUTLOOK: If injuries mount like last season, the Red Wings may have to fight down the stretch to extend their streak of 23 straight playoff appearances. Datsyuk is expected to miss the start of the regular season with a separated shoulder. | | SAN JOSE: LAST SEASON: 51-22-9, 111 points. Lost to Los Angeles in first round of playoffs.
COACH: Todd McLellan, 7th season with Sharks, 271-130-57; seventh overall in NHL.
ADDED: F John Scott, F Tye McGinn, D Taylor Fedun.
LOST: D Dan Boyle, D Brad Stuart, F Marty Havlat.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Joe Thornton. Despite finishing second in the league in assists last season, Thornton was stripped of his captaincy this summer in response to the Sharks' playoff collapse against Los Angeles. San Jose became the fourth NHL team to lose a best-of-seven series after winning the first three games. That prompted a search for new leaders. Thornton expressed no desire to leave San Jose but how he reacts to the new role and how he plays this season will be key questions going forward.
OUTLOOK: The Sharks began the offseason with general manager Doug Wilson talking of rebuilding and becoming a ''tomorrow'' team after being a Stanley Cup contender for most of the past decade. Wilson has altered his stance a bit and the players still believe this team can compete with the other powers out West. Much of the success will hinge on continued improvement from younger core players like Marc-Edouard Vlasic, Logan Couture and Tomas Hertl; Brent Burns' move back to defense from forward; and more depth on the bottom two lines to take pressure off Thornton and Patrick Marleau. |

*Red Wings-Sharks Preview* ==========================
By JORDAN GARRETSON STATS Writer
Detroit (33-15-11) at San Jose (30-23-8), 10:30 p.m. EDT
The San Jose Sharks enjoyed the league's best home-ice advantage over the previous 10 seasons, but that edge has been virtually non-existent more recently.
They'll look to avoid their longest home skid in two decades Thursday night when they face the Detroit Red Wings.
San Jose posted a league-best .712 home winning percentage from 2003-04-2013-14, coinciding with its 10 straight postseason appearances, which trails only Detroit among active NHL streaks.
That streak could be in jeopardy, however, if the Sharks (30-23-8) can't right themselves at home. Two points back of Calgary for the Western Conference's second wild-card spot, San Jose has dropped six straight at home and is 4-8-3 there since winning eight in a row. The franchise hasn't lost seven in a row at home since an eight-game slide from Feb. 18-March 26, 1995.
"You want to push toward that second season, and right now we're not there," said Joe Pavelski, who leads the team with 55 points. "So there's nothing given to us and we got to go earn it."
The Sharks will try to take advantage of a slate that sees them play seven of their next eight at home, though they likely need improved special teams play. They've given up six power-play goals on 19 chances over their last eight games and are scoreless on the power play in three straight, one shy of a season-worst four-game drought from Nov. 11-16.
Detroit (33-15-11) is in much better position with a 10-point edge over Boston for third place in the Atlantic Division, though it lost 1-0 at red-hot Los Angeles on Tuesday. The Red Wings were limited to 20 shots and the league's best power play (25.2 percent) squandered all five chances.
They allowed the goal at the 2:24 mark of the first period. Detroit is minus-1 in the first period compared to plus-23 over the second and third.
"I just thought it was a good hockey game. It was tight," coach Mike Babcock told the team's official website. "We talk lots about trying to start quick. When you play back to back sometimes it takes you a little bit ... They're a good team and we're a good team and there wasn't much room out there."
San Jose is minus-9 in the first and plus-10 over the other two periods.
Henrik Zetterberg's status is unclear after he missed the last two games with a head injury suffered Saturday against Dallas.
"I feel like it hasn't changed since Saturday. Hopefully, I will feel better soon. I thought it would be better but unfortunately, no," Zetterberg, whose 49 points are tied with Pavel Datsyuk for the team lead, told the team's official website. "I have some symptoms that I don't have when I am 100 percent, so until those symptoms go away, we've just got to take it easy."
Pavelski scored twice in the Sharks' 4-1 home victory Jan. 19, 2014, their fourth consecutive win against the Red Wings. Pavelski has five goals in his last five home meetings.
Antti Niemi is 10-1-1 with a 1.55 goals-against average in his past 12 starts against Detroit.
