Wrap Up

The Red Wings have not been playing great hockey as of late; since they started the seasons 5-1-0, they have gone 2-4-2, and they are bunched up with a bunch of other teams for second place in the Atlantic Division instead of having had a chance to create some distance. Over the last few games, they have seen production from their first line take a dip, but the fourth line has seen some recent success. For the Red Wings to get back on a roll before things unravel entirely, they will need production from every aspect of their offense, which needs to start in today’s game.

In their last ten games against Columbus, the Red Wings are 5-3-2 and outscored them 37-26. The Red Wings this season is 1-0-0 against the Blue Jackets as they shut them out a month ago, winning 4-0.
