Fox News is not my most trafficked-upon website (no judgment if it’s your favorite one, we all find our news somehow), but this morning, Paulina Dedaj posted an Atlantic Division preview, and it’s my job to share the news with you, so here we go:
DETROIT RED WINGS : The Red Wings haven’t made a playoff appearance since 2016, and the last time they won a playoff series was back in 2013. Despite having 11 Stanley Cup championships, the franchise has found itself in a drought over the past few seasons.
Detroit’s biggest issue last year was a lack of production. It ranked second to last in goals scored with just 125. During the offseason, it added forward Pius Suter, who played his first NHL game with the Chicago Blackhawks last season. It also signed veteran forward Carter Rowney, who is coming back from injury, and center Mitchell Stephens, who was acquired in a trade from the Lightning.
The Red Wings also acquired Calder Trophy finalist Alex Nedeljkovic from the Carolina Hurricanes and defenseman Nick Leddy, two significant additions for the struggling Red Wings.
Continued; the Wings’ secondary scoring or lack thereof is my main concern for this upcoming season, with special teams coming in at a close second.
