The Detroit Red Wings are used to winning games again. After a hot couple of weeks, the team was slowed in Ottawa Thursday when they just could not get things going. Looking for a reset, the New Jersey Devils were a good team to seek a win against, as they have been struggling near the bottom of the Metropolitan Division. In fact, the Wings beat the Devils in Detroit just three weeks prior.
First Period New Jersey netminder, Keith Kinkaid, did not have much to do in the first, needing to stop only four shots, but he did make some nifty glove saves.
