Red Wings' Penalty Kill Shows Improvement
The Red Wings have given up only one power play goal in five chances, with an 80% penalty killing efficiency, ranking 19th in the NHL.
This shows improvement over last season, when they struggled to reach 70% and finished last in penalty killing in the NHL.
“One, we haven’t had to use it a lot,”
Detroit coach Todd McLellan said. The team's power play remains as dangerous as before.
In a recent game against the Maple Leafs, the Red Wings were 2-for-2 on the kill in a 6-3 win.
