March 2018
Detroit refocused on producing more offense and they go 9-2-2 in March. Detroit outscored their opponents 43-29. I changed the power play up during the month and went 9-57 (15.8%), which would be good for 22nd in the league. Zetterberg injury looks to have another week or two for his full recovery – hopefully for the first round of playoffs.
Detroit remains 2nd in Atlantic and 4th in the conference.
