What to do about (aboot*) those damn Red Wings? This is what all the other teams must be asking them selves. After beating the Colorado Avalanche 4-2 in Denver the Wings now leads the league in goals scored (137) and goals against (84). They have led in scoring pretty much since the start of the season, but for quite a while they were 3rd behind the New York Rangers and the St. Louis Blues in goals against. Since the Rangers have been slumping lately and Henrik Lundqvist haven't been him self, the Wings are now first.
It has been discussed whether Detroit needs to add a quality forward to their roster for more scoring depth come the playoffs. Well, they have played three games without scoring leader Henrik Zetterberg (back) and top line winger Tomas Holmstrom (groin) and they have won all of them. Obviously Pavel Datsyuk is carrying a heavy load in their absence, but some of the younger players are also stepping up to fill the void. Valtteri Filppula has four goals in the last two games and is a great example of young talented Red Wing players expected to take another step during this season. So, I am not so sure they need anything. Right now they are looking awfully good.
