Vladislav Namestnikov Gets Off The Mark Tuesday Night
4 years agoDetroit Red Wings forward Vladislav Namestnikov scored the team's only goal in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to Dallas, adding three shots and one hit. The 28-year-old Russian was without a goal through the first six games of the season and he even hadn't recorded a single point, so this must have felt really good for him. Namestnikov has been a good depth forward for teams throughout his career, and he's in a great spot to perform right now with a number of Red Wings on the league's COVID-19 list. He is skating on the second line with Anthony Mantha and Bobby Ryan, and Mantha ended up being the only forward with more ice time than him on Tuesday.
