The Red Wings will try to build off their most recent outing, a 5-4 win over the Boston Bruins at Little Caesars Arena on Tuesday, which snapped a four-game winless streak.
“We played more solid defensively,” Elmer Soderblom said about the club’s performance on Tuesday. “We just got to keep playing the same way by being tough and physical.”
Eight different Detroit skaters found the scoresheet against Boston, with Moritz Seider (one goal, two assists), Alex DeBrincat (one goal, one assist), Patrick Kane (two assists) and Lucas Raymond (one goal, one assist) all recording multi-point nights.
Through 27 games this season, Seider continues to lead all Red Wings blueliners in assists (15), points (19), plus-minus rating (+5), power-play goals (1), power-play points (9) and average time on ice (24:57).
“There’s an uptick in it lately,” McLellan said about Seider’s offensive production. “Especially power-play wise, he’s a lot more willing to feed shots through to the net with some traffic there where before it was more about playmaking and that type of stuff. So, as our power play got its act together, if you will, we have more of that and Mo’s a big part of it.”
