The Red Wings rebuild has seen some lows over the last five seasons. For most of the current campaign, they’ve been fewer and further between.

But Tuesday’s 9-2 home loss to the Arizona Coyotes — who entered the night as the league’s last-place team — threw cold water all over that. For the second time in five games, Detroit pulled both goalies in giving up nine goals. They were booed multiple times throughout the night. At one point, a fan threw a Red Wings jersey onto the ice.

“The performance tonight was worthy of the boos,” Dylan Larkin said.

Here are five thoughts coming out of the loss.

1. Larkin’s postgame press conference opened with the question of what went wrong. His answer: “Everything.”

The Red Wings were coming off a stretch of seven games against seven of the league’s top teams — including most recently a pair of losses to top Stanley Cup contenders Tampa Bay and Florida.

Larkin said he felt like the team “lost all confidence” in their recent trip to Florida, even after playing one of the team’s most complete games of the season in a 4-3 win over the Hurricanes last week.
