San Jose Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky was asked to weigh in on the Red Wings’ resurgent play under coach Todd McLellan, and he told the San Jose Mercury News’s Curtis Pashelka that Detroit’s power play stands out:
Since former Sharks head coach Todd McLellan took over as Detroit’s bench boss on Dec. 26, the Red Wings are 7-1-0 and entered Tuesday on a seven-game streak and two points out of a playoff spot. A major reason for the Wings’ success has been their power play, which is 14-for-28 during the team’s streak.
“I just notice how connected they are,” Warsofsky said of Detroit’s power play. “They read off each other extremely well. They’re dangerous off the rush; they’re dangerous off of faceoffs. They have one of the best in Patrick Kane on one flank, that, if you give him time and space, he’ll make a play. If you pressure him, he’ll make a play.”
