The Detroit Red Wings were booed on home ice, deservedly so as not even a date at Little Caesars Arena against an opponent near the bottom of the standings ignited a good performance.
Jakub Vrana’s season debut was lost in the ugliness that was Tuesday’s game against the Arizona Coyotes. Neither Alex Nedeljkovic nor Thomas Greiss played well, but there were numerous defensive breakdowns, and for a third straight game there was no offense. It added up to the Wings' most lopsided loss of the season, 9-2.
It’s the 10th time this season the Wings (24-27-6) have allowed six or more goals in regulation and comes less than three week after the Wings were embarrassed in a 10-7 loss at home to the Maple Leafs.
