In 16 games since McLellan took over, the Red Wings are 11-4-1, riding a three-game win streak as they prepare to head to western Canada on Wednesday. It’s not unusual to see a midseason coaching change bring better results in the NHL, but now more than 30 days in, the Red Wings’ surge has lasted longer than a simple adrenaline rush.

The Red Wings showed they're learning how to win after falling behind against a great defensive team like the Kings and scoring five straight goals.

The Kings take a two-goal lead in the first period before losing, 5-2, against their former head coach and dropping to 2-5-1 over their last eight games.

The Detroit Red Wings wrapped up a three-game home stand Monday when they hosted the Los Angeles Kings, who jumped out to an early lead thanks partly to a mishap by the Wings – but that only momentarily quieted fans at Little Caesars Arena.

McLellan and his right-hand man, former Kings and Ducks assistant Trent Yawney, have put their imprint on the winged wheel in short order. “Our structure in all three zones (has improved), I feel like we’re just supporting the puck better,” Talbot told The Detroit News.

Marco Kasper scores twice to lead the Detroit Red Wings to a 5-2 comeback win, sending the Kings to their sixth loss in eight games.

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.

DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings need an offensive spark tonight against Montreal in the start of a key three-game homestand. It won’t come from Patrick Kane, who’s out with an upper-body injury. Others must step up. The team needs to generate more than the one goal a game it’s produced during a three-game skid (0-2-1).

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

Elmer Soderblom snapped a tie in the second period and Marco Kasper provided a pair of insurance tallies in the third as the Red Wings defeated the Los Angeles Kings 5-2 at Little Caesars Arena to sweep a three-game homestand. The Red Wings (24-21-5, 53 points) showed their resiliency by battling back from two-goal deficit in the first period.
