Scouting Report (Courtesy of Stats LLC)
The Detroit Red Wings, who visit the Florida Panthers on Sunday afternoon, have lost nine of their past 10 games, including a 3-2 defeat at the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday night.
Some are calling Detroit’s stretch run “Lose for Hughes.” That’s a reference to center Jack Hughes, the expected first overall pick in the 2019 NHL Draft. The more the Wings lose, the better their chances to get the top spot in the draft so that they can add Hughes to their roster.
