The Detroit Red Wings have been better defensively. Head coach Jeff Blashill said they just needed to flip a goal. Well they needed a heck of a lot more tonight as the Florida Panthers absolutely blasted the Red Wings 7-2.
This was unequivocally Detroit’s worst game of the season, and sends them to their fourth consecutive loss. The power play was useless again, and a team that doesn’t have any players on protocol or missing a chunk of players, this harkened back to last season’s disastrous blow out losses.
