Red Wings-Predators quick take: systematic

Update: FSD?s Trevor Thompson reports that Tomas Holmstrom suffered a groin injury and won?t play tomorrow: The Detroit Red Wings began play against the Nashville Predators with a little lead in their legs from their Christmas break and a little ?stupid? lingering in their play from their ineffectual, inefficient and mistake-prone hockey against Edmonton, Vancouver and Calgary last week, but the Wings slowly but surely gained their footing and ended up routing the Predators at home, defeating Nashville 4-1 at a Bridgestone Arena where the Wings rarely win.

Embarking on a slate of four straight games versus Central Division opponents and their first of two back-to-back slates this week, the Wings plain old played smart hockey against a Predators team missing Shea Weber, exploiting the Predators? absence of depth with some depth scoring of their own?as well as some pretty damn spectacular play by their stars.
