Jeff Blashill drew a comparison familiar to anyone with kids as he explained how the Detroit Red Wings approach developing players.
The question that prompted his answer focused on defensemen Filip Hronek and Gustav Lindstrom, who are struggling. Hronek was on the ice for four of the Wings' most recent goals allowed, and Lindstrom was serving a penalty when the New York Rangers tied the game late in regulation Wednesday. That led to a 5-4 overtime loss which left the Wings (26-32-9) winless in four straight games entering Friday's contest against the Ottawa Senators.
