The Detroit Red Wings’ projected lineup ahead of tonight’s must-win game against the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden has been released.

The disappointing result highlighted the issues within the group, but especially the struggles of managing the game.

After the game, McLellan was adamant: until the team manages games better, tough losses will keep coming.

“Until this group figures out what’s important at certain times of the game, we’re going to have those nights. Simple as that.”

The Wings are 1-3-1 in their last five games, and tonight, they have an opportunity to bounce back.
