That's a pretty substantial differential.

Wings' position in the NHL overall - 

Points: T4th

Points %: 6th

Regulation Wins: 6th

Regulation & Overtime Wins: 3rd

Goals For: 11th (because the Wings have played more games than many teams, their GF/game is likely lower than 11th)

Goals Against: T20th (because the Wings have played more games than many teams, their GA/game is likely higher than 20th)

Goal Differential: 15th

Keeping it scoreless after 1 on the back end of a back to back is acceptable for now.

Bruins finally break through midway through the 2nd. 

[sagnam]

This team is way better than what we’ve had for a long time but they are still not very good.

[buddha]

that was a schedule loss.

They are getting it done mostly with the power play and great goaltending. The back end of the D and the 5 on 5 are not great.

But there are still 68 points left at play in the schedule. They aren't going to get them all.

Would be a big blow if Chiarot missed meaningful time

[buddha]

recalled gustafsson and not wallinder or tuomisto?  nobody tell 84...  😉

HAH!!!

DeBrincat scored into one of the most wide open nets you’ll ever see. 1-0 Wings vs the Sharks.

Marco f'n Kasper, that was beautiful 

[lordstanley]

Kane and DeBrincat give each other so many chances. 

[lordstanley]

Holy, Johansson, where the heck did that come from, ha. 

[lordstanley]

More than halfway through the season and I still haven’t figured out the value to the viewer in drawing a red circle around a player on the power play. I can figure out the likely sniper on my own.

With the Sharks finishing a back to back, there is no excuse for the Wings to not win this game. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Is Kasper finally coming back to life here?

[lordstanley]

Kasper with the ENG! His first in 37 games. 

[slothfacekilla]

Hopefully this gets Marco going, I thought he looked good overall tonight
