Red Wings Need To Stop Starting Games Slow

As long as the NHL season is, points are too valuable to squander, even if it's the opening month.
That's why the Red Wings are seeking to establish a mind-set that has them ready to go from the start of the game, not the start of the second or third period.
They're 3-1-1 entering tonight's game against Calgary, the first of four straight and 10 of 13 at home. But they're coming off a game in Phoenix where they needed to go all the way to the last minute of overtime after a flat start, and that's an issue that's being addressed.
