The Detroit Red Wings started their west coast road trip against the Los Angeles Kings. Initially, they were slated to play the Anaheim Ducks, but due to Covid-19 issues, their game was moved to Sunday, so they'll be playing back-to-back. The Kings are a good team, and it was just an abysmal showing from a Red Wings team that lost two of their last three games.
First Period
Well, things got interesting extremely early into the first period. Drew Doughty threw a big hit on the rookie Lucas Raymond in the neutral zone, and off of faceoff in the Red Wings defensive zone, only a minute and a half in, the Red Wings forgot to cover Brendan Lemieux in front of the net, and he put the puck in the net.
