The Redwings lost their third shootout of the season tonight (still yet to win this year in the shootout). Detroit was playing at home and chose to shoot first --- the article below is appropriate:

"There have been 40 shootouts through the first seven weeks (307 games) of the season. The home team has opted to shoot first in 26 of those games — but won only 10 of them, a .385 winning percentage. In the other 14 games, when home teams allowed the visiting team to shoot first, they went 8-6 (.571). That’s why home teams overall were 18-22 (.450) after going 75-70 (.517) last season."
