New coach Todd McLellan tricking Detroit Red Wings into having fun – and it shows in games
The Wings (15-18-4) head on the road to play the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday and the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday, their first excursion since McLellan was named coach Dec. 26. The Blue Jackets are 12-4-3 at home, and the Jets are perched atop the NHL standings, so it presents a good test for a team that shows signs of revitalization.
