#6 Ottawa also wins. They're just 6 points back of the Wings with a game in hand. Keep in mind the 4th place Wings can not make the playoffs as a 6th place team, even if only two Metro teams finish ahead of them.

The Wings have gone 3-5-2 for 8 points in the past 10 games. Florida, with 6 points, is the only team in the East with fewer points than that in the past 10. Over the past 10 games the Wings have lost ground to everyone in the playoff mix including 4 points on Tampa, 7 points on Buffalo, 7 points on Montreal, 9 points on Carolina, 3 points on Pittsburgh, 4 points on NYI, 5 points on Boston, 8 points on Columbus, 8 points on Ottawa, 4 points on Philadelphia and 4 points on Washington. Even in the West, only LA (with 7 points), Chicago (with 6 points) and Vancouver (with 7 points) have fewer points than the Wings over the past 10.

The Atlantic’s #1 Tampa, #2 Buffalo, #4 Montreal and #5 Boston all win. Of course.

Habs down 3-2 with under 6 minutes to go. You can guess what happens. 2 goals less than a minute apart and it’s 4-3 Habs with under 4 minutes to go.

Columbus was trailing Utah by 2 with under 7 minutes to go, but 2 goals in 30 seconds has tied the game at 4.

Careful, Red Wings-itis must be contagious.

The LA Kings outshot the Habs 16-1 in the 1st period but only managed one goal. Sure enough the Habs tie it up 1-1 early in the 2nd.

Go Mammoth go!

Does this mean Larkin is going to miss a bit?

The Habs have scored 3 goals in 4min 23s to turn a 4-2 3rd deficit in Anaheim into a 5-4 lead.

March Sadness

And they will. 3-1. Ugh.

That was a dreadful powerplay.

Big Wings powerplay coming up for the Wings with 5:21 to go. They are outplaying Florida but that doesn't matter this time of year.

Larkin limps to bench after a spear in the worst spot.

Like Vegas the other night, Florida is playing the back end of a back to back.

I was about to say that it's critical the Wings kill off the final minute of a penalty to start the 3rd. Sigh ...

Wings 1 Panthers 1 after 2. Wings should probably be ahead. Main thing is to avoid regulation losses especially at home

And a huge upgrade on defense?

It’s trade deadline day and Daniel Cleary is back!

Yzerman apparently mentioned 14 days away in his presser (see tweet in above post)
