Bultman: Red Wings give Derek Lalonde a dream debut with shutout win

New York Times  

DETROIT — Before the Red Wings ever hit the ice under Derek Lalonde, the new coach held a pre-training-camp meeting, at which he highlighted the team’s many defensive failings in 2021-22. “More excited about the zero,” he said, “than the three.” Indeed, the Red Wings defense looked different Friday night. “I feel like we were on top of them all the time,” said goaltender Ville Husso, who began his Red Wings career with a shutout. “I really thought they set themselves up, and they got the hard goal from below the goal line, which was exciting.” When it was all said and done, Natural Stat Trick had the shot share with Söderblom on the ice at five-on-five at nearly 64 percent in Detroit’s favor — with nearly 95 percent of the expected goals.
