DETROIT – The lack of scoring in the first quarter of the regular season has been puzzling for the Red Wings, who continue to struggle offensively.
The Red Wings enter Friday’s home game against the Los Angeles Kings as one of the lowest scoring teams in the league.
Just when it seemed that they had snapped out of their month-long scoring slump with a 4-3 overtime win at Ottawa on Monday, the offense was stymied again, this time in a 2-1 OT loss to Washington on Wednesday. It was the seventh time this month that Detroit’s offense was held to two or fewer goals, however, first-year head coach Jeff Blashill isn’t ready to sound the alarms quite yet.
