There's going to be a few of these during a long NHL season and the Red Wings definitely encountered one of those ugly losses Friday in Winnipeg.
The Wings were never really in this one, losing 6-2 to the Jets, while beginning a three-game Canadian road trip.
Maybe it was playing a third game in four nights, on the road in Winnipeg, a sneaky long flight after an emotional victory the night before. Maybe the Jets were primed and focused after two consecutive losses and seeing their lead for a Western Conference wildcard spot slipping away.
Whatever it was, the Wings (33-33-9) struggled, while seeing a modest two-game win streak snapped.
