Stupid Stat of the Day for January 3, 2026; Detroit Red Wings vs. Pittsburgh Penguins.
The Red Wings are unbeaten all-time in their second game of the calendar year when it is the back half of a home-and-home series and they lost the first game of that series.
This previously happened in 1949 against Chicago and 1955 against Montreal. It is the seventh time overall that Detroit has started the calendar year with a home-and-home, having lost the second game of the series in 1943 and won the rest of them.
