from Ted Kulfan of the Detroit News,
The Red Wings' slide continues, be it against playoff teams or rebuilding ones.
The Wings lost 5-2 Friday to the Ottawa Senators, a team similar to the Wings in rebuilding and playing out the string.
But it was the Senators who looked more impressive in this game. They had more energy, were better on specialty teams and deserved the victory.
The Wings are mired in a funk right now and are having difficulty escaping.
"You have to dig yourself out of it, it doesn't get any easier," forward Sam Gagner said.
