Dylan Larkin threw off his helmet as he left the game, his night over with five minutes to go after getting into a shoving match.
It was the most fire the Detroit Red Wings showed Tuesday at Little Caesars Arena, otherwise looking inept as they were routed yet again by the Montreal Canadiens. The Habs scored at will in the second period — similar to how San Jose took over Sunday — and there wasn’t a hint of a rally from the Wings.
The disaster finally ended at 8-1, adding to the embarrassing history the Wings have suffered at the hands of the Habs, who won 7-3 back in October and routed them 10-1 last season.
