What had been a close game degenerated into a mess for the Detroit Red Wings, ending to their winning streak a night after it began.
They took on the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday at United Center, facing their Original Six rival for the sixth time this season. Coming off a confidence-raising victory the previous night, the Wings were routed, 7-2.
It’s the second time this season the Wings (7-14-3) have lost by that score, and it came one night after they won consecutive games for the first time this season. They were credited with 46 shots on Kevin Lankinen on Sunday.
