Detroit — It’s early in the schedule, hockey fans are constantly reminded of that notion.
But teams such as the Red Wings, who haven’t begun the season the way they’d like, need to stabilize the situation as quickly as possible.
Heading into Tuesday’s game against Tampa Bay, the Red Wings hadn’t won two consecutive games since winning the opening three games of the season Oct. 9-13.
Considering how effectively the Red Wings played Saturday in the 5-3 win over Ottawa, they find it important to keep building on that positive 60 minutes of hockey.
