| Retired veteran Igor Larionov (Devils) is confident the Red Wings will hold on to claim the Stanley Cup, according to the Detroit News. Larionov said, "I expect a fantastic game. Detroit is a team with plenty of experience and knows what to do. My suggestion to the boys: 'Stay calm. They have people that can put the puck in the net. I still believe they will be champions based on how they played all year and their style of play."
