It has to be difficult to be a Detroit Red Wings fan these days. This franchise dominated the playoffs for decades but over the last three seasons, the Red Wings have posted 33 wins or fewer and have not even been close to the playoffs. That streak looks like it will continue in 2019 as Detroit is off to a sluggish 3-9 start. The offense has been terrible at 2.2 goals per contest and the defense equally bad allowing 3.8 goals per game. The losing streak has now reached eight games. Edmonton is 9-3 and has won three straight times in Detroit and the distance between these teams is growing. Play on Edmonton.
