The Red Wings won a game less than 24 hours ago. They won a game where they were scored on five times, and their starting goaltender looked horrendous. Detroit has never been a team who plays particularly well in afternoon games. This one was a bit different - 1 pm start on a Monday, after having some difficulties at the team hotel:

Several #RedWings players had to deal with room-key issues at team hotel last night. Couldn't get into rooms. Then fire alarms at 3:12. Ugh!

Does that factor into the way they played today?
