Twice this season the Detroit Red Wings have gotten into a bit of a slide, and both times they’ve righted themselves before the damage festered. That’s a sign of growth from a team where the core group ranges from early-to-mid 20s, and signs of a close-knit group in the locker room. The Wings (10-9-3) take
Detroit — The losing has been a major reason. The fact Little Caesars Arena itself is such an elite facility that fans want to explore and not necessarily watch hockey has also been a factor.
