Red Wings' Austin Watson Hits Milestone
It was a good night. At least, it was a good night for most of Detroit's players. The Detroit Red Wings defeated the Utah Hockey Club (and newly re-signed former Red Wing, Olli Maatta), 5-1, with five different goal scorers despite being down a goaltender.

Alex DeBrincat notched his 500th career point with his 33rd goal of the season. Youngsters Marco Kasper and Elmer Soderblom continued their great seasons by scoring goals in the victory. However, two players who don't often contribute offensively also hit the scoresheet. Tyler Motte scored the Red Wings' fifth and final goal of the night, his third of the season. Finally, Austin Watson, still fresh (ish) from a call-up from the Grand Rapids Griffins, scored the team's third goal - his first of the year. The veteran forward survived a demotion, while defender Brogan Rafferty did not. Every Expiring Detroit Red Wings Contract All good things come to an end.

Monday night was Watson's fourth game with the Red Wings this season. He has averaged 7:15 of ice time per game in addition to firing four shots. Watson has played 519 NHL games with four different organizations. The 33-year-old winger has also suited up for the Nashville Predators, Ottawa Senators, and Tampa Bay Lightning before his stop in Detroit. The 6-foot-4 and 238 lb winger's best offensive season came with the Predators in 2017-18. He played 76 games, scored 14 goals, and recorded 19 points while averaging 12:20 a game. Watson has enjoyed tremendous success with the Griffins this season. He currently has 37 points in 56 AHL games and earned himself an appearance at the AHL All-Star Game. When he was named an All-Star, he was second in team scoring with 29 points in 41 games. With their playoff hopes hanging by a precarious thread, Watson's milestone has given them a bit of life.

Ducks' Zegras Suspended Three Games for Late Hit
On Monday, the NHL Department of Player Safety announced that Trevor Zegras has been suspended for three games for interference on the Detroit Red Wings' Michael Rasmussen during Sunday's game. No penalty was called on the hit and Rasmussen left the game due to injury and did not return. The reasoning for supplemental discipline from NHL Player Safety is that the hit was interference, it was late, it caused an injury and there was significant head contact—combined with the force of the hit—on the play. This is Zegras' first suspension. He will miss Tuesday's road game against the Buffalo Sabres along with Thursday and Saturday's home games against the Vancouver Canucks and Chicago Blackhawks. In his absence, the Ducks may recall one of their top scorers from the AHL in Sam Colangelo, who has had several NHL stints this season. Colangelo has 35 points in 37 AHL games this season and leads the San Diego Gulls in goals with 19. He was also named to the AHL All-Star Game. Losing Zegras for three games while pushing for a playoff spot is a big blow. His creativity with the puck is an element that the team misses when he isn't in the lineup, so how they fare in and adapt to his absence will be key.
