While the Montreal Canadiens were mired in their eight-game losing streak, the Detroit Red Wings were faring even worse. Their run hit 12 games without a point, and saw 10 consecutive regulation losses from November 19 to December 10.
Both teams have since broken those streaks of futility. The Red Wings got revenge for a 5-1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets by defeating them by a 5-2 score on Thursday night; the first time they scored five goals since the opening game of the season.
