BETTER NOW: ‘Hardened’ Detroit Red Wings show growth in two-game winning streak
Game notes: The trip to Sweden did not go as planned for the Red Wings. It was a long journey across the pond, and the team did not play a ton of hockey before or after the trip, so the two losses over a two-day period really lingered. When the Wings lost the second game, it was their fourth loss in five games.
Since returning, it’s been a totally different story.
The Wings have won two games in a row by a combined score of 9-2, first beating the New Jersey Devils, 4-0, and then knocking off the Boston Bruins for the second straight game, which at the time was only their second loss in regulation this season. Forward Alex DeBrincat, the Red Wings’ big offseason acquisition, has three points in the two games since returning stateside after a cold spell.
The game against the Wild will be a good opportunity for the Wings to try and continue their momentum and pick up two more points before another big game against the New York Rangers, who also beat the Bruins on Saturday to move into a share for the most points in the entire NHL.
Entering the game with the Wings, the Wild have lost six straight contests. They have a -17 goal differential for the season, but a desperate team can always be scary, as the Wild will surely be anxious to end this streak.
Be sure to get the TV turned on early, as the game will start at 1 p.m., which works out well for fans in the Mitten State looking to fill the Lions-sized void after that team played Thursday.
