Red Wings' Struggles Continue with Consecutive 2-1 Losses

The Detroit Red Wings' struggles continued as they lost two consecutive matches by a narrow 2-1 margin to the Colorado Avalanche and Ottawa Senators. Against the Avalanche, Ville Husso made 23 saves but Detroit fell short despite Lucas Raymond's late goal, marking their fifth consecutive loss. In Ottawa, the Senators' Josh Norris scored twice, including a last-minute goal, to secure victory, with Linus Ullmark making 19 saves. The Red Wings, who tied the game with Alex DeBrincat's power-play goal, have now lost four straight games and are facing difficulties in close contests. Ottawa, meanwhile, snapped a two-game losing streak, and with playoff hopes, they aim to maintain their dominance over Detroit, having outshot them significantly. Both teams are battling for playoff spots, with Ottawa needing consistent performances to improve their standing.
