There was a debate on tonight, so this recap is brought to you from my basement. I could have saved everyone time by telling you that hockey is better than politics.
The Coyotes came into tonight's game on a four-game winning streak, while the Red Wings came in one game removed from such a streak of their own. Detroit was also on the last of their six-game road trip, hoping to head home on a high note. Here's what happened in Joe Louis Southwest.
First Period:
After going through the wringer of the California teams, the Wings got a much-needed day off in Arizona before preparing to meet the Coyotes.
