Detroit — The holiday break is over. It's time to get back to work.
At least for the NHL it is, and for the Red Wings, that means games Thursday in Pittsburgh and Saturday in Dallas.
Two good teams, on the road, and coming off a three-day break without any practices or games. It doesn’t sound easy, particularly for a Red Wings team that is 1-4-2 in its last seven games.
But the Wings had a very good Toronto team beaten until the final eight seconds Sunday, watching the Leafs tie the game then win in overtime.
