Moritz Seider joins Paul Coffey and Brian Rafalski in Red Wings history
Detroit Red Wings defenseman Moritz Seider became the 1st Red Wings blue liner since Brian Rafalski to accomplish this feat!
The Detroit Red Wings picked up their 4th straight victory, beating the Winnipeg Jets in last night's game 4-2 thanks to a pair of goals from Dylan Larkin along with goals from Alex DeBrincat and Lucas Raymond.
Defenseman Moritz Seider picked up a trio of assists, and in doing so set some Red Wings franchise history.
He became just the 5th defenseman in Red Wings history to register at least 20 assists in each of his first 4 seasons with the club, becoming the 1st blue liner since Mike Green to accomplish the feat
Additionally, he joined Paul Coffey and Willie Huber in team history who also did so.
The belief system for the Red Wings is growing
As evidenced by the boost the Red Wings have gotten under coach Todd McLellan, their belief system is growing.
The belief system has grown. It's got stronger over the last 10 days, which is essential. Structurally, we've adjusted a few things. We can do all of that, but unless you have a receptive classroom and players that are willing to change or learn, you have no chance. I give the players credit for moving the train forward, if you will.
Coming in as a new staff, Trent [Yawney] and I, and joining the group that's here, the focus went on penalty killing. The power play was doing a pretty good job. There hasn't been many tweaks there, a few things we've talked about, but certainly the penalty kill has been a total revamp. Winnipeg didn't get many opportunities but when they did, we held our ground and did our jobs.
