New Jersey Devils defenseman Luke Hughes speaks to his brother, center Jack Hughes during the third period of Game 4 of the second round of the NHL playoffs, Tuesday May 9, 2023, in Newark, N.J. The Hurricanes won, 6-1.DETROIT — The Detroit Red Wings’ playoff drought has lingered so long that they’ve tied a team record, seemingly stuck in a rebuilding mode that has allowed apathy to set in with at least some fans.
The Vegas Golden Knights were among the recent examples and they ended up wining the Stanley Cup in their sixth season, a year after not making it to the postseason for the first time. “Players are no different than coaches and fans,” Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde said. “You add some pieces, it gets guys excited.”
“We did what we could in the offseason to improve without mortgaging any part of the future. We’ll continue to try to get better and hopefully sooner than later we’re a playoff team.” Dubas, who was hired in June shortly after he was fired in Toronto, acquired reigning Norris Trophy winner Erik Karlsson in a blockbuster deal two months ago after trading for veteran forward Reilly Smith.The Predators were just three points behind Winnipeg for the final wild card in the Western Conference and they have a player in net talented enough to close the gap.
