Can the Red Wings break the playoff drought this season? The dream is alive after Thursday night’s shootout win at Madison Square Garden. It wasn’t pretty, but thanks to some strong play from the top line and another brilliant start from Thomas Greiss, the Wings got it done and kept the dream alive ahead of a really tough stretch of competition through mid-March.
The Wings started the game great. Real great. In fact, I think that was the best start the Detroit Red Wings have had in over a year or two, maybe. The Rangers didn’t register a shot until a little before the half-way mark of the period.
