The NHL standings don’t tell the whole story when it comes to the Detroit Red Wings, says coach Jeff Blashill.
"I think we’re a good team. I think we’re a better team than our record has indicated, but that’s my opinion," he said Saturday in Burnaby, B.C., where his squad was preparing to battle the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday.
It’s an opinion that star centre Dylan Larkin agrees with.
"But we need to come out here and prove it, and prove it for a long time, long stretches throughout the season," said Larkin, who leads the team in scoring with 47 points.
