Things are looking up these days for the Detroit Red Wings who are riding a seven game winning streak. They're sitting in the fourth spot in the Atlantic Division, only six points out of first place.
And some are giving new Coach Todd McLellan much credit for the mid-season resurgence after the team looked rather listless under Coach Derek Lalonde, who was fired on Dec. 26.
"It’s been great," team member Patrick Kane tells the Detroit Free Press. "I’m not sure any of us really thought we’d be in this position right now. What a spot we’re in. It’s fun when you’re playing for something every night. We’re in a good spot and we put ourselves there."
"You have to give Todd a lot of credit, too, he’s done a great job of coming in and kind of settling things down and making sure we’re playing aggressive. Even when we get back on our heels a little bit, and things aren’t going our way, to keep pushing forward and try to turn the game in our favor."
