Said Lucas Raymond: “When you’re winning, it makes things a lot easier and makes you even more focused to keep it that way. You don’t want to let that go. I think it’s the way we’ve been playing, which is probably the nicest feeling. It hasn’t been a coincidence. We worked really hard for it and we continue to do so every day.”

After a trio of home wins, the Red Wings will get back on the road as January ends, hoping for better results than the last road trip.

The honeymoon phase is well and truly over after a rough four-game outing. Now the Red Wings focus on how to move forward.

The Red Wings begin a four game Western road trip in Edmonton, looking to improve on their last trip away from Little Caesars Arena
