Wings are playing well tonight being up 2 in the 3rd. They gave up 2 goals in 20 seconds but have played well other than that.

It's nice to see the offense, at least, getting on track. 42 shots is a lot and while probably an outlier, much better than the 24/game they had been averaging coming in. They still managed to give up 33 shots, however, which is still a poor number.

The defense just looks lost trying to move the puck. It's like they are just trying to push the puck away from the back line with no regard to who will get it. The defense needs to lift their heads and actually pass to someone. And for that matter, the forwards need to do less waiting for the puck. There were a few times that it looked like Nashville guessed the pass and just walked in front of our forwards to take it.

I agree man they look lost on defense at times .

I agree, but the most important thing is that they are learning how to win while not playing their best. If they can start tightening up the D, while still winning, they'll be nearly unstoppable.
