Detroit — The Red Wings began a stretch of their final 15 games of the regular season Monday — the toughest schedule in the NHL, based on opponents’ records.
So, chances are, the Wings are going to close out the season much the way this entire season has already gone — with plenty of losses.
It certainly started that way Monday, as the Wings lost 2-1 to the Colorado Avalanche.
The Wings didn’t get much of an offensive attack going — a familiar refrain this season — getting outshot 27-18, including a measly four shots in the first period and six in the second.
