Wings midseason grades: New look nets similar success

Detroit — A lot has changed for the Red Wings since the midpoint of the regular season schedule last season — then again, some things haven't.

They have a new coach, Jeff Blashill replacing Mike Babcock who is now in Toronto.

Veterans like Pavel Datsyuk, Henrik Zetterberg and Niklas Kronwall are crucial factors in the everyday lineup.

But, this season, the arrival of Dylan Larkin and the continued development of Petr Mrazek, Gustav Nyquist, Tomas Tatar and Danny DeKeyser is changing the look of the team.

Another thing doesn't change much.

Ultimately, it doesn't matter who is wearing those Red Wings jerseys, they seem to win.
