Detroit — The Red Wings’ front office headed out of town to figure out a plan. But if Ken Holland & Co. needed a map, Jeff Blashill’s team certainly pointed them in the right direction Tuesday night.
A 4-2 loss to the Dallas Stars at Little Caesars Arena offered another reality check for anyone still entertaining the notion that this team is a playoff contender. The Red Wings mustered a season-low 15 shots against a team playing the second game of a road back-to-back, and notwithstanding the phantom penalties that left everyone on the home bench crying foul Tuesday, they didn't really deserve much better.
