Red Wings on a roll 2019-01-11 The Red Wings were flirting with a .500 record 13 games into the season before coach Yeo decided to make a small but effective change to his forward group. Since Day 1 that Draisaitl, Kucherov and Tarasenko have been playing together they haven't been separated on that 1st line. After a so so start to the season coach Yeo decided to move Tarasenko down to the 2nd line with Trocheck and Dadonov and move Boeser up to the 1st line with Kucherov and Draisaitl to see if that would jump start anything. It has already started to pay dividends as the Wings have posted a 6-1 record since the shakeup and have outscored their opponents 25/8 in that span. It has actually sparked the offense on both lines believe it or not. The Wings now sit with a 12-7-1 record at the 20 game mark. Since the small shake up the players below have posted the following stats : Name Goals Assists Points Draisaitl 4 5 9 Kucherov 2 5 7 Boeser 1 2 3 1st Line Name Goals Assists Points Trocheck 5 3 8 Tarasenko 4 3 7 Dadonov 2 5 7 2nd Line Let's hope that the good fortunes keep on rolling for the Red Wings so they can have their first taste of playoff glory.
