The Detroit Red Wings haven’t had much luck playing the Lightning in most recent memory. They have lost 12 straight games to the team Steve Yzerman built. In addition to that, TB has beaten the Wings 12 consecutive times playing in Amalie Arena. It is undoubtedly a destination the Wings do not look forward traveling to.
The losses are starting to mount, the winless streak is becoming taxing, and the first overall pick is becoming more and more realistic if this streak continues. A lot of times teams get tumbling downward early on in the season similar to this and are unable to rally themselves back with any type of winning streak to make up for it.
