The Red Wings haven’t been great in a lot of areas this season but, oh, that shootout.
They’ve been incredible in the tie-breaking skill session.
Perfect, even. You can’t beat them.
They continued that perfection Thursday, defeating the Arizona Coyotes, 5-4 – including a 1-0 edge in the shootout on Gustav Nyquist’s goal, to clinch the victory.
The win pushed the Red Wings (27-31-11) to 8-0 on the season in the shootout. It also stopped a modest two-game losing streak, including a disappointing loss in Denver the night before to the worst team to the NHL-worst Avalanche.
