from Ted Kulfan of the Detroit News,

It’s not March Madness around the Red Wings these days — more like March Sadness.

The march toward the bottom of the NHL — and better odds to land the first overall pick — continued in earnest Thursday with a 4-1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings.

The loss extended the Red Wings’ winless streak to eight games (0-7-1), with difficult road games in Anaheim (Friday) and Colorado (Sunday) left to conclude the weekend.

How is this March going?...

“There wasn’t a lot of offense out there, it was tough to come by,” coach Jeff Blashill told FSD. “We competed real hard. Obviously it’s not a 4-1 game, it was a one-goal game.”

Coreau is unrestricted this summer. He does not appear to fit into the Wings’ plans, but he may fit on the farm.

“I try not to think about that too much,” Coreau said. “Just go out and play for the Detroit Red Wings and if it works out well, then maybe stay here. Who knows?”
