Know the Opponents: Winging it in Motown
The Detroit Red Wings under Todd McLellan are nothing if not streaky. After he was hired they rolled off a seven-game winning streak. Then they had a three-game losing streak (including a 5-1 loss to the Bolts). Now, they’re on another seven-game heater (including a 2-0 win over Tampa Bay). The latest winning streak has nuzzled them up right behind the Lightning as they enter today’s contest just one point behind the Bolts in the standings.
