Red Wings set for 50th straight sellout at the Joe Louis Arena

The Detroit Red Wings are set to skate in front of a capacity crowd (20,066) at Joe Louis Arena for the 50th straight game when the Columbus Blue Jackets pay a visit to the Motor City for a 7 p.m. showdown with the reigning Central Division champs.

Detroit has amassed a 31-12-6 record on home ice during the team’s run of consecutive sellouts, a mark which includes an active 15-game winning streak – the best in franchise history.

The game will feature the one-millionth arena patron to pass through the gates at the Joe since the sellout streak began on December 19, 2010.
