The Slumping Detroit Red Wings
from Kevin Allen of Detroit Hockey Now,
The Red Wings have lost four in a row and six of their last seven. They have been shutout an NHL-leading five times and only scored five goals in their last four games. Detroit is now seven points out of a wild card spot and the Boston Bruins, the team holding the last wild card position, has four games in hand.
Takeaways from the loss:
1. Scoring Troubles Mount
The Detroit Red Wings now rank 25th in scoring at 2.65 goals per game. They were 0-for-5 on the power play to fall under 14% this season in power play efficiency. They rank 31st out of 32 teams. Lucas Raymond continues to look impressive but hasn’t scored a goal in 14 games.
