If that was the Detroit Red Wings' version of playoff hockey, it doesn't bode well for their wild-card chase.
They were beaten up two straight nights by the Ottawa Senators., losing 6-1 Tuesday at Canadian Tire Centre after losing by a four-goal margin 24 hours earlier. The Wings came into the mini-series full of hope and swagger, but the Senators punched them in the face and pocketed four points. Ville Husso (21 saves) didn't get much help, and for a second time in his young career, Mads Sogaard (16 saves) earned a victory against the Wings, who passed on him in the 2019 draft.
