Detroit - Maybe coach Derek Lalonde had an inkling of things to come after Tuesday's morning skate.
Lalonde was asked about the Red Wings' fine start to this season, and the fact Lalonde has begun hearing about the heightened expectations and maybe an exaggeration of how well the Wings have played during a 3-0-2 start which made the only team left in the NHL without a regulation loss.
Make that 3-1-2, now. There are no more teams without a regulation loss. Sure enough, the Devils came into Little Caesars Arena and defeated the Wings 6-2.
