LOS ANGELES — Three days after they arrived in southern California the Detroit Red Wings finally got to play a game, only for it all to go wrong within 10 minutes.
The Los Angeles Kings broke down and beat up the Wings the moment the puck dropped Saturday at Crypto.com Arena, handing the Wings a 4-0 loss that dropped them to 4-11-1 on the road.
Alex Nedeljkovic was barraged with shots as the Wings failed to play any better defensively than they did offensively. It was as bad a game as the Wings have played this season, reminiscent of 2019-20 when they would fall behind early and never recover.
