Unfortunately for the Detroit Red Wings, their season-high 7-game winning streak came to an end last night at Little Caesars Arena.
The San Jose Sharks doubled them up 6-3 thanks to a mixture of poor goaltending and defensive breakdowns, especially in the 3rd period.
However, the Red Wings also lost forward Tyler Motte during the 2nd period; he lost his edge while skating behind the San Jose net and crashed face-first into the boards.
During today's practice, the Red Wings inserted Christian Fischer on the 4th line along with Joe Veleno and Michael Rasmussen in Motte's place; Fischer hasn't played since late December.
