Red Wings Still Lack “Captain” Material on Roster
Amid another disappointing stretch, Detroit Red Wings lack leadership.
No captain to steer the ship, no player deserving.
The Detroit Red Wings are amid another rough patch in a season littered with them. The latest is a four-game losing streak with the past three showing up as blowouts with losses of 4-1, 4-1 and 5-1 to the New Jersey Devils, Boston Bruins and Pittsburgh Penguins respectively.
The team now sports an astonishing minus-106 goal differential, according to Detroit News writer Ted Kulfan, and is only seven away from the cap era record of minus-113 set by the 2014-15 Buffalo Sabres, according to The Athletic’s Max Bultman.
