It has been indeed an up and down season for the Detroit Red Wings, to say the least. Early in the season the Wings played well, played hard but couldn’t buy a win through their first few games.
Then the wheels fell off in back to back games against the Montreal Canadians and Boston Bruins. The Wings would be blown out in both contests. It totaled seven games without a win before they found a 4-3 overtime victory in Florida, besting the Panthers.
Since the underwhelming start to the season, the Wings have won six of their last seven games.
