Dallas – The Red Wings faced three of the better teams in the NHL over their last three games – Toronto, Pittsburgh and Dallas.
The task was going to be tough going into all three of those games, but the Wings didn’t give themselves much of a chance by allowing five goals in each of the losses – 5-4 against the Maple Leafs (overtime), 5-2 against the Penguins and 5-1 against the Stars.
The Red Wings, as currently constructed, and especially with the injuries they have, aren’t likely to score six goals against those teams.
