The Detroit Red Wings have some positives so far this season. Their trade for Alex DeBrincat has paid off with 12 goals in 20 games. They are in third place in the Atlantic division, ahead of teams like Tampa Bay Lightning and Toronto Maple Leafs. However, they still have significant flaws in goaltending and defense, and have signed Patrick Kane to help improve their prospects. Kane, who recently recovered from hip-resurfacing surgery, has been declining for a few years and may not solve all of Detroit’s problems, but his signing is low-risk and may help them make the playoffs. Detroit is hoping he will boost their power play and chemistry with DeBrincat. While Kane may not be the answer to all of their problems, the Wings are optimistic about their chances of reaching the playoffs this year.
