"They were a much better team against Columbus than they were against Chicago," said Bowness. "They're a better team than they have been in the last couple of years, they've added some really good veterans, and if they play against us like they did against Columbus, this is going to be a very tough game."
Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill said his team is determined to get back on the right track.
"Of course there's urgency. Regardless of how long the season is, nobody wants to get into a streak where you're losing. Certainly, a shortened season has a bigger impact right away," Blashill said. "Do we want to nip this in the bud? Absolutely. Is there urgency to do that? Absolutely. Do we face a really good opponent that's played two great games so far? Yes. So we've got our hands full, for sure."
