Detroit’s Power Play Not What It Was

from Ted Kulfan of the Detroit News,

The Red Wings’ power play hasn’t been as dangerous as it was earlier this month.

And that’s leading to a lot less team success.

In recent games, a key power-play goal could have turned the complexion of the game in the Red Wings’ favor.

But power-play goals have been few and far between.

The Red Wings haven’t generated nearly enough pressure, and what could be a game-changer has turned into two minutes of frustration.

“We’ve had different issues on different nights,” said coach Jeff Blashill after Saturday’s 3-2 shootout loss against Buffalo, in which the Wings were 0-for-4 on the power play.
