MONTREAL — The Detroit Red Wings made a mockery of themselves.
Fresh off a humiliation in Boston, they self-destructed in the second period Monday at Bell Centre en route to a 7-3 loss to the Canadiens. Six games in, the Wings remain in search of their first victory — and the next stop is at Tampa Bay.
The Wings (0-4-2) have lost six games to open a season for the first time in their 92-season history.
Monday’s outing looked worse in light of Saturday’s 8-2 shellacking in Boston. None of the veterans came through with a big shift.
