'We had chances': Slumping Wings toppled by Penguins

Pittsburgh — It may not look like Christmas anymore, but suddenly, it’s beginning to look like October.

And if you’re a Red Wings’ fan, that’s not a good thing.

Remember that ugly month when the Red Wings were 1-7-2 during a stretch?

December is looking a lot like it.

Thursday’s 5-2 loss to the Penguins was the latest mark in the loss column, and there have been a lot of them lately.

The Red Wings (15-18-6, 36 points) have only won once over the last eight games (1-5-2) and only three games in their last 12 (3-6-3).
