Red Wings struggle at bottom of Atlantic division after 20 games

The Detroit Red Wings are 20 games into the 2026-27 NHL season, posting a 7-10-3 record, which places them last in the Atlantic division. Recent struggles have seen the team go 3-7 in their last ten games. The team’s defense has shown improvement with a 3.0 goals-against average, yet the inability to close out matches has hampered their performance. Critical player situations, including those of Dylan Larkin and Simon Edvinsson, need resolution by December 1 to assist in improving the roster. Current scoring averages leave the team averaging 2.58 goals per game, indicating a need for offensive upgrades ahead of the next match.
