The Detroit Red Wings will be heading to the nation’s capital on Friday night to take on the best goal scorer of this generation, Alex Ovechkin, and the Washington Capitals. Ovechkin is having another terrific season, so much so that he is well on his way to breaking Wayne Gretzky’s seemingly untouchable record of 894 goals.

▶ Center Ryan O'Reilly: The Nashville center is 34, and with two years left on his contract at $4.75 million. He'd be a fine fit in this Wings lineup, but with a no-trade clause, O'Reilly would have to agree to a trade, and that might be unlikely.
