Sunrise, Fla. — The poor moms, they didn’t get a chance to see much great hockey.
Taking their mothers on a road trip didn’t provide much luck for the Red Wings, who lost 6-3 to Florida on Thursday, losing both games on the quick Florida road trip.
Maybe the moms gave their sons an earful on the plane trip back, because the Red Wings are sliding backward.
They’ve won only three games in the last nine (3-5-1) and have fallen to fourth in the Atlantic Division, now holding a razor-thin one-point lead over Pittsburgh and New Jersey for the first wild-card spot.
