Blashill confident Red Wings are a better team than year ago

Detroit — Red Wings fans would probably like to completely forget last season, but let's look back one more time.

The Wings won a grand total of 17 games (with 39 total points earned) in 71 games, before the pandemic forced the NHL to end its season.

That certainly made for a low bar for the Wings to hurdle to show any sort of improvement.

Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill has been pleased with how his team has competed despite its record.

But, still, the Wings reached an interesting of milestone, of sorts, with Saturday's 1-0 shootout victory over Tampa, that being their 18th victory of this season.
