Hi everybody, and welcome to Episode 229 of Red Wings Rant: Where tirades and impassioned pleas about your Detroit Red Wings, finally, have a home. 

The Detroit Red Wings beat the Tampa Bay Lightning thanks to some elite goal-scoring from Jakub Vrana. We also have a date for the NHL Draft Lottery. And William Wallinder wins the Junior SHL Player of the Year award.

The Red Wings got two timely goals from Jakub Vrana, a beauty steal and snipe from Lucas Raymond, and some pretty good goaltending from Thomas Greiss. It was a solid win despite Dylan Larkin having season-ending surgery on his core and being ruled out for the rest of the season.

The NHL announced that the Draft Lottery would take place remotely on Tuesday, May 10th. The NHL Draft is scheduled to occur in Montreal on July 7th and 8th.

We have a William Wallinder update as he wins the SHL’s Junior Player of the Year award. Among previous winners are Rasmus Dahlin, Victor Hedman & Niklas Kronwall.

We also have an update on Al Sobotka…I guess.
