The Detroit Red Wings enter the final full week before the Christmas break with 39 points and following a road trip that saw them go 4-1-1 while outscoring opponents 22 to 16. And the Wings were hot, scoring four or more goals in five of those games, setting the stage for a successful slate heading into the break.
Unfortunately for them, they're playing the New York Islanders on Tuesday to start things off. You already know how bad the Wings have been vs. the Isles this season, so it's time for them to exorcise their demons.
