Detroit — They do not score enough to make so many mistakes.
If they made fewer, they would likely score more.
Mix in a devastating number of injuries on a rebuilding roster and the worst power play in the NHL, and standing 26th in a league of 30, as the Red Wings did entering play Tuesday, is the result.
The Wings have lost 30 games in regulation in consecutive seasons for the first time since 1990 and 1991.
