Also, the penalty kill looks solid for the Red Wings
The Red Wings started their four-game road trip this past week with a tough three-game stretch against the Oilers, Canucks and Flames. The week did not go as hoped as the Wings would finish 1-2 over the three games.
Game Results
2/13 at Edmonton: 8-4 Loss
2/15 at Vancouver: 4-1 Loss
2/17 at Calgary: 5-0 Win
Stud: Patrick Kane
After missing the last handful of games before the All-Star break, Patrick Kane has picked up where he left off since signing with the Red Wings, tallying a total of five points in the three games that the Red Wings played in this last week. His presence on the ice was felt immensely in the offensive zone, especially on the power play. The DeBrincat- Kane connection was in full effect when the two linked up for a really nice power-play goal against the Oilers and Kane would also hook up with Dylan Larkin on the power-play for yet another assist on the man advantage.
With the return of the man known as “Showtime”, the Red Wings’ offense could find themselves getting back up and going once again at a crucial time of the season as they fight to make the playoffs.
