The Red Wings are struggling for offense these days and the team didn't get news Thursday that'll necessarily help that matter.

Copp scored his ninth goal of the season during Thursday's 4-2 victory over Montreal, a shorthanded breakaway in the second period giving the Wings a 3-0 lead. Lately Copp has been centering Alex DeBrincat and Patrick Kane (now Vladimir Tarasenko with Kane injured) in more of an offensive role.

Patrick Kane is dealing with an upper body injury, and the Detroit Red Wings hope Vladimir Tarasenko can ameliorate that loss.

Said Lucas Raymond: “When you’re winning, it makes things a lot easier and makes you even more focused to keep it that way. You don’t want to let that go. I think it’s the way we’ve been playing, which is probably the nicest feeling. It hasn’t been a coincidence. We worked really hard for it and we continue to do so every day.”

After a trio of home wins, the Red Wings will get back on the road as January ends, hoping for better results than the last road trip.
