After losing their fourth straight game with a 2-1 defeat against the Ottawa Senators, Detroit Red Wings head coach Derek Lalonde voiced his disappointment but remained optimistic about his team's play.

"This is a game you hope to take at least a point of, unfortunately,we didn't in the end.” Lalonde said in his post-game press conference. “I thought our guys handled it very well and again, we had some looks, we had our chances, very unfortunate how it ended in the end."

When asked about losing four straight games and how he planned to keep up the team's confidence level, Lalonde responded,

"Well, not feel sorry for ourselves. We played just fine of late, we've been gobbling up some points, it's just (about) finding a way to get these over the finish line.”

The Detroit Red Wings will look to bounce back from this losing skid when they host the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday night at Little Caesars Arena.
