from Jared Clinton of The Hockey News,
As painful as this has been for the Red Wings and the Hockeytown faithful, though, this hasn’t been some one-off experience. Rather, it’s been the norm. Across the past three seasons, Detroit has had nine losing streaks of five games or more, including two seven-gamers, one eight-gamer and a double-digit streak that saw the Red Wings drop 10 consecutive tilts from Feb. 28 to March 18 during the 2017-18 campaign. Detroit is making up for lost time by experiencing some serious and prolonged on-ice pain following a quarter-century playoff streak.
