Detroit — One of the negative aspects about last season for the Red Wings was the inability to stop losing streaks.
The Wings had separate losing streaks of eight, nine and 12 games last season. Losses would stockpile, the Wings would fall deeper in the standings, and the regular season felt that much longer.
It’s a shorter NHL season this time around because of the pandemic. But the Wings would rather avoid the long losing streaks.
Which makes this short, two-game home stand against Florida this weekend that much more important.
