The game was a microcosm of the first half of the season: Play well for a period, then self-destruct.
At the midpoint of their season, the Detroit Red Wings are 15-19-7, on a winless skid that grew to five games after Monday’s 4-3 shootout loss to the Florida Panthers at Little Caesars Arena. It was a performance that encapsulated the first 41 games of the season, as they did things right for a while, but not long enough to earn two points.
