Coming into Thursday night’s game without a win in three, the Red Wings were ready to forget their trip to California and get back to business with a home tilt against the Winnipeg Jets. I always love games against the Jets - that’s because like 80% of the players on the ice are from Michigan for some reason. Unfortunately for this game, it was a terribly offensive performance from the home team, which put them in line for their fourth loss in a row.
Not really the sharpest of starts for the Wings. Blashill rolled with the Erne-Rasmussen-Namestnikov line out of the gates and they were immediately overwhelmed by the Jets.
