The Daily: Red Wings PK Seems Improved; PP Just as Dangerous

Red Wings' Penalty Kill Shows Improvement

Although two games are not a sufficient sample size, the Red Wings have shown promise by only allowing one power play goal in five chances ahead of their game against Toronto.

The team's 80% penalty killing efficiency, ranked 19th in the NHL, demonstrates improvement from last season, when they struggled to reach 70%. They finished last in penalty killing in the NHL last season.

“One, we haven’t had to use it a lot,”

Detroit coach Todd McLellan said. This is a positive sign for the team.

The Red Wings were 2-for-2 on the kill in their 6-3 win against the Maple Leafs on Saturday.
