DET FLA 4-17

Environmental awareness will take center stage on Easter Sunday when the Detroit Red Wings host the Florida Panthers for Green Night, presented by DTE Energy, at Little Caesars Arena.

Puck drop is set for 1 p.m., with broadcast coverage airing exclusively on ESPN. Ken Kal and Paul Woods will have the call on the Red Wings Radio Network.
Prior to puck drop, fans can enjoy a variety of activities on the Via concourse, including pre-game photo opportunities with the Easter Bunny and learning about sustainable practices at BeKind Detroit's pop-up kiosk. Energy-saving tips and initiatives will also be shared throughout the game.

Autumn Kings, a Windsor, Ont.-based rock and pop band, will be performing before and during the game. The Red Wings drum line will also be making a special appearance.
Down the stretch of the 2021-22 season, the Wings are focused on playing a consistent, fundamental brand of hockey.
"If you got plays to make, make them. If you don't, live another day," Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill said. "It's been something, ultimately, we're gonna need to learn in order to become a better hockey team and we haven't done a good enough job of learning that lesson."
