The Detroit Red Wings are holding Hockey Fights Cancer Night on Thursday night, as the Pittsburgh Penguins roll into town. That mean’s lavender dashboards around the rink at the Joe, as well as goalie Jimmy Howard busting out his pink goalie mask for charity.

It’s a pink version of Howard’s usual mask, with a script “Hockey Fights Cancer” adorning it.

For the second straight year, Howard and the Red Wings will be auctioning off gear to support Hockey Fights Cancer. That includes sticks with lavender tape the Red Wings will be using in warm-ups.

As far as we know, Howard isn’t busting out the pink pads from last season for tonight’s game. But we can dream …
