The Detroit Red Wings are gearing up to break a troubling losing streak, hoping to secure a playoff spot with their first visit to Utah. Coach Todd McLellan emphasized the need for consistent effort and determination in their upcoming game against the Utah Hockey Club, previously the Arizona Coyotes. With only two wins in their last eleven games, the team acknowledges the urgency to improve.

Lucas Raymond expressed excitement about the historical venue, the Utah Olympic Oval, while the team prepares for a critical matchup. The Red Wings expect to regain defenseman Jeff Petry's services, and their focus is on the essential, often overlooked aspects of the game such as shot-blocking and board work, which McLellan believes are crucial for achieving victories.
