Coach Jeff Blashill’s message to his players is to learn, but also to forget.

The Detroit Red Wings are one week into the regular season and it has been a tough one: They head into their next game on an 0-2-2 start, the losses piling up even as the Red Wings have been in every game.

“I said this to our group, we are going to have to have a real short memory,” Blashill said after Thursday’s 5-3 loss to Toronto.
