A2Y- Can't Stop Winning Now

02/18/2023 at 1:15pm EST

from Kevin Allen of Detroit Hockey Now,

David Perron said Thursday in a post-game interview that the Detroit Red Wings can’t afford to be satisfied with their season-high five-game winning streak.

“Foot on the gas,” he told Bally Sports. “You can’t ease off. You look around the league, and we don’t play tomorrow ,there will be teams around the league that are in tight with us or we’re chasing that are winning. All of a sudden, all the work we’ve done, and we are in the same place. So we gotta keep winning.”

That scenario played out Friday night when the New York Islanders defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins. Instead of being two points out of a playoff spot, the Red Wings are now three points out heading into Saturday Night’s road game against the Seattle Kraken in Seattle.

The good news for the Red Wings is that they have four games in hand against the Islanders and three against the Washington Capitals who are two points ahead of Detroit. The Capitals and Red Wings play Monday evening in Washington.

About Abel to Yzerman

Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
