The locker room was quiet — no music, no laughter — similar to how it’s been after most Detroit Red Wings games this season.
Victories have been in short supply for the Red Wings and Saturday night in Ottawa was no different — a 4-3 shootout loss. At 15-47-5, the Wings have by far the worst record in the NHL. They have 35 points, and going into Sunday’s games, the second-worst team, Los Angeles, was outdistancing the Wings by nearly 20 points, as the Kings had 54.
