Frk back to face Habs in Montreal (Red Wings)

Looking to snap out of their second six-game losing streak of the NHL season, the Detroit Red Wings hope to get a shot of booster juice from the return of right-winger Martin Frk. The hard-shooting forward has missed the past eight games due to a groin injury, but will be ready to go as the Wings face their Atlantic Division rivals the Montreal Canadiens Saturday in the second half of a home-and-home set at the Bell Centre. “I know I have a good shot and tomorrow when play I have to go use it,… Frk told Detroitredwings.com. “The whole team needs to score more goals so I am very hopeful I can help the team to score and get on the scoresheet, and get the win as well.… Now, pinning all of their hopes on the return of one player would be as foolhardy as suggesting that the Wings’ current six-game slide is all the fault of defenseman Danny DeKeyser. DeKeyser returned from an ankle injury six games ago and is minus-eight in that span as the Wings went 0-3-3. “I think just getting two points would help everybody’s confidence in here,… DeKeyser said. “When you’re winning, everything is going a little smoother for everybody. “We’ve just got to find a way to get a win and get off this streak and hopefully start a winning streak.… Frk had just come out of a slump of his own, ending a 10-game goalless drought by scoring in three of four games before he was injured, and there’s no doubt that his right-hand shoot will add another dangerous weapon to Detroit’s power play.
