Part of being a good team is knowing how to win in different situations, and the Detroit Red Wings demonstrated an example of that the last time they played they played the Washington Capitals.
The teams meet again Thursday at Little Caesars Arena, two weeks after the Wings rallied from a two-goal deficit to win in overtime at Washington. The Wings hit a bumpy patch soon after that victory, but they’ve righted themselves with their first three-game winning streak in two years. That includes closing out a victory against the Oilers that required fortitude in the third period when a three-goal lead was reduced to one.
