Jimmy Howard on Friday's 2-1 loss to Winnipeg Ted Kulfan, The Detroit News
Detroit — This was better, this was progress compared to how the Red Wings looked earlier in the week.
The Red Wings were a different team on the ice Friday from the one that looked so poor against Carolina.
But, ultimately, talent wins. On most nights these days, the Wings just don't have as much as the other team.
The Winnipeg Jets are one of the best teams in the NHL and Friday patiently took the Wings' best punches before finally defeating them 2-1.
