However, they hit a historic low in terms of points and consecutive playoff misses.
I believe this is about to change, as the Red Wings seem poised to awaken from their slumber and become a force to be reckoned with. Yzerman has been steadily adding talent over the past two years, and with the addition of Alex DeBrincat, a former Blackhawks forward, to their top 6, the Red Wings have gained another scoring threat.
During a preseason game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, DeBrincat demonstrated his readiness to contribute to his new team by scoring a beautiful goal alongside Dylan Larkin and Shayne Gostisbehere.
Debrincat, Who was traded to the Red Wings after spending one season with the Ottawa Senators signed a new contract extension worth $31.5 million over 4 years.
The Red Wings emerged victorious in a close four to three victory. It's important to note that this was just a preseason game, the first of several for the Red Wings. Nevertheless, it's encouraging to see that the changes they've made appear to be paying off early on.
