Approaching the mid-season point, the Detroit Red Wings weathered an eight game winless streak and since that was snapped on February 7, the Wings are 5-6-1. During the stretch, but not only through the season, which Red Wings have been integral parts of the team grinding through another rebuilding year?
In no particular order (and with an honorable mention), Alex and I look at the top six Red Wings so far this season
Honorable Mention: Tyler Bertuzzi
While Bertuzzi has missed more games than he’s played this season with an undisclosed injury, there’s no discounting just how much the Red Wings missed Bertuzzi’s presence offensively as well as on the power play.
