Game Notes:
San Jose down by 2 goals would score 3 straight to take a 3-2 lead late in the 3rd.....Brendan Smith would tie the score when he threw the puck towards the net and it found its way in.....San Jose starter Thomas Griess started the game but left midway through, his status after the game was unknown.....Detroit's Henrik Zetterberg and Niklas Kronwall both left the game. Zetterberg will miss at least a week and Kronwall will be a game time decision for the Wings next game against Nashville. If Kronwall cannot play Nikita Nikitin will dress for the game.

New forward lines for next couple games
Franzen-Datsyuk-Nyquist
Tatar-Filppula-Cleary
Mursak-Helm-Eaves
Abdelkader-Emmerton-Miller

Defense w/o Kronwall
Lidstrom-Smith
Quincey-White
Kindl-Nikitin

Going into the game against Nashville Detroit sits tied for #1 in the West with 35pts, Nashville is 4pts behind Detroit with 31.

Game Notes:
Wings had a 2 goal lead after 6 mins into the 2nd period, but the Caps would tie it early in the 3rd.....The Wings then were about a min away from the win when the Caps Brooks Laich tied it again.....Zetterberg was hurt in the game after blocking a shot, he would miss a couple shifts but returned. His status for the Wings game against Chicago is "possible".

Surprises:
Tomas Tatar- After starting the season in GR he was brought up when Rookie Alex Galchenyuk was sent back to Juniors. He has 4 goals which ties for the team lead

Jimmy Howard- 2nd in the league with a 1.77gaa and 6th in the league with a 92.7%sv. He didnt have the greatest per-season and was a concern going into the season.


Disappointments:
Nicklas Lidstrom- only 3 pts in 13 games and -4

Ian White- 3pts in the month and also -2

Johan Franzen- only 1 goal in 13 games for the teams resident sniper.



Western Conferance Playoff Race:

Next up the Month of November starting with the Vancouver Canucks. I will be doing the same for November as October. Playing hopefully at least half the games in the month and then simming the rest. I will then have a update at the end of the month.
