“A game ago, we got scored on once and it was a back-check and a sort out,” head coach Todd McLellan said about the goals Detroit surrendered while shorthandedl. “That can’t happen. The first goal, we had a clearing opportunity with a two-on-one, and we didn’t get it out.”
“The third power-play goal, a walkout from below the goal line, we have the tools to take care of that and we just didn’t get it done,” he continued. “Much like our game right now where our power-play is scrambling, our penalty kill needs a polish up.”
