Detroit — There is a new candidate for the Red Wings' worst game of the season.
And it might be difficult to out-worse this one.
The Wings were never really in it Tuesday as the Arizona Coyotes — occupying last place in the NHL overall standings heading into the game — handily defeated the Wings 9-2.
This, after the Wings put together another candidate for season's worst Saturday, a poor 6-2 loss in Florida.
That's three consecutive losses for the Wings (24-27-6) and six losses in the last eight games, as the Wings hit a definitive rough spot in their season.
