These runs were all part of a grand plan to keep the Red Wings competitive through drafting and some trades.
After the 2015-2016 season concluded, something began to shift, and it seemed like the Red Wings were heading towards a major rebuild. Gone were the days of Steve Yzerman, Sergei Fedorov, Brendan Shanahan, and Nicklas Lidstrom, to name a few who had carried this team on their backs and brought many cheers to their fan base.
Fast forward to this year, and the Red Wings appeared to be emerging as potential playoff contenders after a significant overhaul during the summer. One player, in particular, was former Blackhawks forward Alex DeBrincat, who was traded from the Ottawa Senators to the Red Wings, where he signed a long-term deal.
Tonight, the Red Wings faced off against the New Jersey Devils. After a clever play, DeBrincat scored his first goal of the season.
That goal tied the game at 2 goals apiece, but the Red Wings lost the game 4-3. It is widely expected that he will be a key player for the Red Wings moving forward."
