The Detroit Red Wings are preparing to embark on their longest road trip of the season, where they will play in four different time zones, play six teams and not see the comforts of a home game at Little Caesars Arena until Dec. 16, when they host the New York Islanders.
Fresh off of beating the Boston Bruins 5-4 on Tuesday night to improve to 14-11-2 through 27 games, the Red Wings go into the road trip tied with the Ottawa Senators at 30 points for third-place in the Atlantic Division, with the Senators holding one game in hand.
