Red Wings seeking better defense, consistency at 10-game mark

Boston — The Red Wings played their 10th game Tuesday night, suffering an ugly 3-0 loss in Montreal to the Canadiens.

It was a disappointing way to hit the benchmark.

Many NHL coaches, including Wings coach Jeff Blashill, like to break the schedule into 10-game segments to get an idea where their team is at, and where it's headed.

The Wings are 4-4-2 record, earning 10 of a possible 20 points.

"It's been up and down ride so far," defenseman Danny DeKeyser said. "We want to level that out."

Tuesday's lethargic loss put a damper on this segment for Blashill.
