Red Wings Playoff Tracker 2026

[lordstanley]

The Wings have gone 6-8-3 for 15 points in the past 17 games starting January 27. That's a 44.1% points percentage. For the entire season, the only team with a points percentage lower than 44.1% is Vancouver with 36.2%.

Here's the position of the Wings on January 26 vs other conference teams compared to today:

Tampa: Was 1 pt behind, now 7 points behind. So from -1 to -7

Carolina: Was tied, now 12 points behind. So from 0 to -12.

Buffalo: +6 to -11

Pittsburgh: +6 to -2

Montreal: +6 to -2

Boston: +6 to -2

NYI: +8 to -1

Philadelphia: +12 to +4

Washington: +12 to +5

Columbus: +14 to -1

Ottawa: +14 to -3

The only teams in the East the Wings have more points than since January 26 are 3 points more than Florida and 1 point more than Toronto. The only team in the West the Wings have more points than since January 26 are 5 points than Vancouver. That's it. They've played like a bottom 5 for a stretch as long as 1/5 of the season.

It was good to get Copp back. It will be better to get Larkin back. It looked like he was a full go at practice and is now a gametime decision. 

The Boston game was disappointing. They outplayed Boston. They had one goal waved off by a fraction of a second. Swayman stood on his head. Somehow Boston ended up with 1:53 of a two-man advantage AND a penalty shot. 

I still think Detroit gets in.
