Another defensive lull costs Red Wings in loss to Devils

Newark, N.J. — If you've watched the Red Wings, you've seen the script of this game often already this season.

They stayed close for a while, allowed multiple goals in quick fashion, didn't generate enough offense (that's definitely been a given), and wound up losing.

Saturday, it was 5-1 to the New Jersey Devils, stretching the Wings' latest winless stretch to five (0-3-2).

The Wings (7-15-3) return home Sunday to host Carolina — and will be without leading goal-scorer Anthony Mantha.
