When the Detroit Red Wings and Ottawa Senators took the ice at Canadian Tire Centre on Monday, it had the feel of a big game. Unfortunately for the Red Wings, who outshot the Senators 49-23 on the night, it also ended with the feeling of a crushing 2-1 setback that extended their losing streak to six consecutive games.
“Obviously, it’s always good to play well, have a good team game and get as many shots on net as we had,” said Lucas Raymond, who fired a last-second shot that video review showed didn’t cross the goal line before the final horn went off. “But at the same time, it’s about putting wins in the win column, especially at this time of the year. Obviously stings right now, but we know what we’re capable of and what we can do in this locker room. I think it’s been a tough stretch for us, but we’re than confident that we can turn this around and have a good end to the season.”
