So let's check and see how we're doing on March 24, shall we? 4-5-2 for 10 pts in 11 games in March. Wings are 6th in the Atlantic, 10th in the East, 1 pt behind 8th place Ottawa with the same number of games played. 11 Wings games to go in the regular season - 5 at home, 6 on the road.

Ilitch and Yzerman have failed by not convincing the NHL governors to switch to a 60-game, 5-month regular season.

Can't blame the out of town scoreboard tonight. While Columbus and Montreal won, the Wings were gifted regulation losses by Pittsburgh, NYI and Boston. The door was open ...

Right, and they shouldn't have two of their few offensive threats DeBrincat and Larkin taking the physicality into their own hands too late and taking themselves off the ice with penalties when needing a goal with 8 seconds too late.

Loss. Wings are on the ropes now. Sens pass the Isles AND the Wings.

What's DeBrincat doing?

Wings PP with 6 minutes to go. This is the chance.

The Wings haven't threatened as much as I hoped and expected in the 8 minutes since the 3-2 goal.

Pass it or shoot it, Kasper, but do something when in like that.

Captain comes back, cues the comeback? 3-2.

Wings' next game is at Buffalo on Friday, so if they don't come back tonight they might be stuck on 84 points until at last Saturday. Who knows how far they could be by then.

There's 1. Dominik Shine.

I felt they needed to get 6 of 8 pts on this homestand, ideally 7. Got 4 in the first 2 games but looking like 0 in the next 2 games. Keep in mind, Sanderson and Chabot are out of the lineup for the Senators.

2-0 Ottawa. To add the insult to injury, I only get the Sens tv feed and every time they score the PBP lady gives a high-pitched goal call. 3-0!

This is like much of the Montreal game and like the Boston game. The Wings surge as the better team, but can't finish. 1-0 Sens eight minutes into the 2nd.
