Detroit Red Wings head coach Todd McLellan didn’t mince words about his team’s undisciplined penalties that derailed their momentum and snapped a five-game winning streak.The Red Wings, entering as Atlantic Division leaders with a 5-1 record, found themselves shorthanded twice in the opening five minutes, killing off nearly 10 minutes of penalties in the first period alone. Buffalo capitalized on the power play, with Jack Quinn’s goal ending Detroit’s impressive streak of 14 consecutive successful kills. The Sabres outshot the Wings 11-5 in the first period and went on to defeat Detroit 4-2 at KeyBank Center on Wednesday.Todd McLellan, addressing the media postgame, pinpointed the lack of readiness and discipline as the core issue in the matchup (NHL.com):"I don't think our group was ready for the pace, and that's probably why we took the penalties. Shame on us because we knew that they played that way. Then the mental toughness part of it, I thought our penalty kill did a good job," he said.McLellan added:"They're dangerous. They're one of the top power plays in the league right now, and Gibby made some real good saves. But eventually they're going to tap you. The mental toughness was not in that situation, but it was overcoming the rhythm early in the game."The Red Wings (5-2-0) play the New York Islanders (3-3-0) on Wednesday.Detroit Red Wings' 5-game winning streak comes to an end after loss to Buffalo SabresThe Buffalo Sabres erased the Detroit Red Wings' five-game winning streak after a 4-2 win at KeyBank Center on Wednesday.
