As they head back on the road, the Detroit Red Wings do so having earned a shot of much-needed confidence.
Importantly it was some of their younger players who led the way, with Andreas Athanasiou and Tyler Bertuzzi putting in big performances to end an eight-game losing skid. The Wings face quite the weekend with back-to-back games at Tampa Bay and Florida, followed by a jaunt to Montreal, but they feel better about themselves after pulling out a 3-2 shootout victory over the New York Rangers Thursday at Little Caesars Arena.
