TURKEY TRADITION Since the Red Wings moved from Olympia to Joe Louis Arena in December 1979, it has hosted a Thanksgiving Eve game in 31 of 37 seasons (including tonight but excluding 3 seasons that were shortened/canceled due to work stoppages).
DET has played on the night prior to Thanksgiving each year since 1991, counting road games on 4 occasions. DET’s record when they host a home game on this night is 19-8-1-2, beginning with the 1980-81 season when a home game on this night became a near annual occasion (DET had only hosted a Thanksgiving Eve game in 3 of the previous 10 seasons prior to that).
EARLY RETURNS With 8 points (3-5-8) in his 1st 9 games with DET, Robby Fabbri has a chance to become one of the team’s most productive trade acquisitions in recent history. Since 1995-96, only 3 players have produced more points in their 1st 10 games (regular-season and playoffs) with DET than Fabbri after being acquired via trade.
