Tuesday night was a big home game for the Detroit Red Wings. They got Jakub Vrana back and they were looking for a bounce-back from a brutal road trip in Florida. The Arizona Coyotes came into Little Caesars Arena and punched the Red Wings in the mouth right out of the game, and kept punching the entire game.
Before we get into the depressing reality of this game, we need to acknowledge Phil Kessel, who suited up for one shift and then hit the road for the birth of his child. This kept his “iron man” streak alive.
