from Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press,

The Detroit Red Wings sound as miserable as they look. Nothing is going in for them, nothing is going right for them. Even their airplane had issues.

They ended up overnighting in Winnipeg on Tuesday because their jet had a mechanical issue. They found that out shortly before they lost to the Jets, 5-1. There’ll be a rematch Thursday in Detroit, with the Wings stretched beyond desperation to end what has grown to a 12-game losing streak.

The hope they carried into the season, the swagger they earned with a 3-1 start, has been pulverized, blown into pieces as the blowouts balloon. They’ve lost 15 games by three or more goals. They’re 7-22-3, their goal differential bloated to minus-62.
