Final Grades

from Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press,

Ultimately the record shows the 2018-19 Detroit Red Wings were not very good.

They played hard and they played with speed, but they had trouble scoring (2.73 goals per game, 21st in the NHL), they had trouble keeping the puck out of their own net (3.32, 27th). Their power play was good in spurts but middling overall (18.1%, 19th) and their penalty kill was among the worst in the league (77.1%, 28th)....
