Detroit – Good hockey teams will get offensive contributions from their defensemen, complementing the offense created from the forwards up front. The Red Wings only got 20 goals from defensemen last season. In another sign of this season’s improved roster, the blue line has already contributed 10 goals along with creating a large number of
Red Wings ride momentum into season-long five-game homestand – MLive Jake Walman made his season debut Tuesday in Anaheim following offseason shoulder surgery, adding to the competition on defense.

The Red Wings ended their four-game trip Saturday with a convincing, 6-1 victory over the injury-decimated Columbus Blue Jackets. “Great” would have likely constituted six, or so, points out of a possible eight.
For the first 20-plus minutes, the Blue Jackets were able to keep their heads above the water. But once the Detroit Red Wings started to build momentum, the Jackets couldn’t do anything to do stop it.
