Pretty damn busy week for the Detroit Red Wings. Also pretty damn successful.
A couple of months ago, you may have looked at the schedule for this week and thought to yourself “that’s a brutal stretch.” Despite a handful of division opponents and a team with the two “best” players in the NHL, the Wings are on a five-game heater. The success comes off of strong efforts from goaltending, defense, and captain Dylan Larkin, who has 11 points on the season as I write this Sunday evening.
The week started early Monday in Toronto. The Wings kinda got cooked in this game but somehow stole a win from the Maple Leafs.
