Detroit — The victories, they keep coming for the Red Wings.
That won’t make a segment of the fan base happy, given it’ll likely decrease the Wings’ odds of picking first (or maybe second or third) overall.
But if you’re Wings’ fan, how can you be disappointed with another victory, this one Friday 4-0 over the New Jersey Devils?
With the victory, the Wings (70 points) moved three points past New Jersey (67), five past Los Angeles (65) and 10 over the NHL’s worst team, Ottawa (60).
With each point, the Wings are escaping the bottom three of the league.
