Pittsburgh — Goaltender Ville Husso was scheduled to make his 24th start of the season Wednesday in Pittsburgh.

Detroit — Michael Rasmussen showed definitive glimpses last season of being a piece in the Red Wings’ rebuild. As this season is unfolding, Rasmussen has done nothing to change that opinion. Rasmussen had his first four-point NHL game during Wednesday’s 7-4 victory over Tampa Bay. The line of Rasmussen, Dylan Larkin and David Perron (both
Thursday’s practice had a little bit of everything for the Detroit Red Wings: A tender moment, a fun moment, and at the end, a merry one.

Twice this month the Detroit Red Wings have measured themselves against the only team to have made appearances in the last three Stanley Cup Finals — and come out ahead. It’s a swell feeling for a team working its way out of a rebuild towards a competitive future. “We’re trying to grow, and we still
