With the up and down nature of the Red Wings’ season, 84 percent of fans said they are concerned about the team’s depth.
The biggest issue facing Detroit and every other team in the NHL is clearly problems surrounding COVID-19. Teams around the league have had to reschedule games and deal with players missing after testing positive. However, even with that less than one-quarter of fans around the country think the NHL needs a league-wide pause to the season.
