Beyond ridiculous, that’s how Red Wings coach Mike Babcock described Detroit’s effort last night in their 4-to-1 loss to Nashville at Joe Louis Arena. The Red Wings have dropped three of their last 4, including a pair of shutouts last weekend.

Detroit goalie Jimmy Howard was pulled in the second period last night after giving up 4 goals on 16 shots. Tomorrow night, it’s Detroit at Boston.

Last night in the ECHL, Kalamazoo lost 2-to-0 at Trenton, where the Devils host the K-Wings again tonight.
