If you include the loss to the Canucks last night, that would be five they’ve dropped. Surprised to see Howard let in an innocuous five-holer, from significant distance, on the fourth goal.  
The Red Wings have been outshot 16-7 in the third period so far this season - no wonder their late-frame implosion last night. I’d doubt if that trend continues, though.  
Unfortunate for the Wings that they passed on Quinn Hughes in the 2018 draft - he’ll definitely become a franchise D for the Canucks.  
Detroit should be happy, though, with Evgeny Svechnikov debuting for them last night - I’ll bet he’ll eventually be quite formidable, offensively.

Nice hat-trick, Bo!
