DETROIT - Four games into the season, the Detroit Red Wings are who Chris Ilitch thought they were.
They're a team that's relying on many young players, several of them rookies. They're keeping games close - two have gone to overtime and they had opportunities to tie the other two in the final minute of regulation.
But they're making mistakes at critical times, not scoring enough and finding ways to lose. The Red Wings are winless in their first four games (0-2-2) for the first time since 1991-92 following Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs at Little Caesars Arena.
