Opponents have been trouncing the Red Wings in the shot department night after night. Yet, Detroit’s record is 4-4-1. Is shot differential a concern? It’s in line with the bend-but-don’t-break defensive strategy that the Red

On Oct. 22, the Detroit Red Wings traveled to New York to play the Islanders for the league’s “Frozen Frenzy” day. If you tuned into the game to see some offense and goal-scoring, you were sadly disappointed as the Red Wings pulled out a 1-0 victory thanks mainly to the play of netminder Alex Lyon.

To the surprise of no one, Moritz Seider is once again the Red Wings’ top defenseman, and his ice time and usage reflects it. The German defender, who signed a massive seven-year contract last month, is averaging just north of 24 minutes a game – a jump up from his average ice time of 22:22
