What we learned from the first 10 games of the Detroit Red Wings’ season


Monday’s victory ended a three-game winless skid and gave the Wings 13 points, which puts them on pace to the top 100 points.

There’s still a long way to go — and the next stretch includes going to Sweden for a pair of games — but it’s a good start, and with that in mind, here are five observations on the Wings’ first 10 games.

The Red Wings scored 13 points in the game, which put them on pace to the top 100 points.


J.T. Compher scored the third period goal for the Red Wings.

Compher’s goal came midway through the third period, putting the Red Wings up 3-2.


The goal was the first that the Islanders had allowed this season at 5-on-5. Compher’s goal was part of a furious rally in the third period. The Red Wings snapped a three-game losing streak (0-2-1).

The Detroit Red Wings emerged from their first 10 games of the season with a win rate that would put them on track to make the playoffs.

They take a 6-3-1 record into Thursday’s game against the Florida Panthers, returning home from a two-game trip with two points thanks to a late rally
