Slow starts have contributed to a season-long six-game skid (0-5-1), and the issue goes back even further:
The Red Wings trailed 3-1 after the first period against Toronto, Florida and Arizona.
Minnesota scored on the first shot of the game at 1:37.
Calgary outshot them 19-1 in the first period.
On Tuesday, Edmonton jumped out to a 3-0 lead less than five minutes into the game.
“We start slow, we start in our own zone, we start defending,” Dylan Larkin said.
