The Red Wings power play has goals in each game of Detroit's ongoing seven-game winning streak, humming along at north of a 40% conversion rate You don't make history every day. [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-teBGlBl3U[/embed] The Detroit Red Wings look to improve on their 20-18-4 record this year. Tonight, they play against the San Jose Sharks. This will be the first time Todd McLellan has coached against his old team since re-joining the Red Wings organization. But that isn't all that is going on with tonight's game. The Red Wings have a 7-1-0 record since McLellan took over behind the bench. The team has experienced a night and day difference in performance and pace. To use McLellan's own words, they are "playing f****** hockey." They are riding a seven-game win streak. If they win tonight, some history will be made. It will be the longest win streak [https://records.nhl.com/det/records/team-records/winning-streaks/longest-win-streak-one-season] the organization has had since the 2007-08 season. The Red Wings have never had a win streak last longer than nine games. During the 2007-08 season (17 years ago), the Red Wings experienced an eight-game and nine-game win streak. At the halfway mark of that season, they set a record for the most first-half wins [https://records.nhl.com/playoff-summary/stanley-cup-winner?season=20072008] (30). They capped off that season with a Stanley Cup, the organization's 11th Championship. Coincidentally, that was the last time the Red Wings had won the Stanley Cup. It would be premature to plan a parade on behalf of the organization, but fans will take the wins as they come. A win tonight will go a long way toward showing the fan base that they mean business. Steve Yzerman expected the team to contend for a Wild Card position. If things progress, they could be looking at more. Including potentially making more history.
