The Wings got walloped by the Devils at home Wednesday night. Looking for a bounce back, they hosted division rival Florida Panthers on the first night of a back-to-back swing.
There are a lot of ways you could describe that game. I think John Keating put it perfectly when he said “better tonight, but not better enough.” I liked a fair bit of what I saw from the Wings in this game, but they ran into their nightmare lord Sergei Bobrovsky who bailed the Panthers out several times. The game came down to special teams and that was Detroit’s kryptonite in this tilt.
