DETROIT -- The Red Wings are not where they want to be but at least they're getting points.
After Tuesday's shootout win over the Buffalo Sabres, the Wings have gotten points in eight straight games, going 5-0-3 in that span.
It is their longest such streak since recording at least one point in 12 consecutive games (10-0-2) from March 11-April 3, 2010, when they were fighting to make the playoffs.
"I think we are starting to play really offensive hockey, we are over-shooting the puck, we have lots of shots on net at the end of the game," said Tomas Tatar, who has five goals and two assists in the eight games.
