Nicklas Lidstrom will tie all-time Red Wing great Alex Delvecchio for second place in games played for Detroit on Friday. Lidstrom will play in his 1,549th game as a member of the Detroit Red Wings, tying Delvecchio for second place behind Gordie Howe who played 1,687 games for the Wings. "I can't think of a better person than Nick," Delvecchio said. "He's done real well with the Red Wings, been a great leader. He's a real cool cookie out there, shall we say. He's just an all-around All-Star hockey player."
