The Detroit Red Wings didn’t exactly start the evening on fire in Anaheim. The Wings took a penalty in the first minute of play again to start the game. The early and often trips to the sin bin have been a theme they need to ditch to begin the season. Nyquist was the culprit last night with a little slash near the hands which will be called every time in today’s NHL.
The Detroit Red Wings have improved on their penalty kill this season, well early on anyway. They continue to pressure the oppositions power play unit, forcing them to move the puck not allowing much time or space for them to set up.
