If the Detroit Red Wings intend on making the playoffs, can they prove the 3-2 win against the Toronto Maple Leafs wasn’t an anomaly?<\/p>\n
When it comes to road trips, the team has failed to play up to the kind of standard that we see playoff teams do.<\/p>\n
For example, the Red Wings were outshot by the Toronto Maple Leafs (40-15) despite the 3-2 outcome in Scotiabank Arena.<\/p>\n
The flaws started to show<\/a> when the team was defeated subsequently by the New York Islanders, with a 7-2 finish in favor of the Patrick Roy-led team. They can’t count on John Gibson<\/a> or Cam Talbot to bail them out.<\/p>\n Red Wings prove they are a bad road team with home win vs. St. Louis Blues<\/p>\n The fact of the matter is, when they play on the road, they don’t play up to the standards they hold for themselves.<\/p>\n In both games in the road trip against the Buffalo Sabres and the New York Islanders, they were outscored 11-4 by both teams.<\/p>\n Fortunately for the Red Wings, their game against the St. Louis Blues on Saturday was at home, where they came back from a 4-0 deficit to win 6-4 at Little Caesars Arena.<\/p>\n If they hope to secure a spot in the playoffs after their recent streak of losses, leading to a 5-3 record, the team will need to tighten up their blue line and play like the team who began the year with a 5-1 record to start the year.<\/p>\n The team will need to hold themselves accountable if they’re to find themselves in the running for a playoff spot.<\/p>\n Previously on Red Wings Insider<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo credit: Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images If the Detroit Red Wings intend on making the playoffs, can they prove…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":267180,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5101],"tags":[599,93,5137,5,181,6,4,8503,3358,36583,5138],"class_list":{"0":"post-267179","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-detroit-red-wings","8":"tag-detroit","9":"tag-detroit-red-wings","10":"tag-detroitredwings","11":"tag-hockey","12":"tag-hockey-news","13":"tag-ice-hockey","14":"tag-nhl","15":"tag-playoff-hopes","16":"tag-red-wings","17":"tag-red-wings-news-and-rumors","18":"tag-redwings"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/115438670674785828","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267179","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=267179"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267179\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/267180"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=267179"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=267179"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=267179"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
