The Detroit Red Wings Aim for A Playoff Spot
Near the top of the Atlantic Division, the Red Wings have taken to Todd McLellan's systems and have proven themselves capable of playing to expectations.
The team is 6-3-0, 2nd in the Atlantic, and could be considered underdogs for a spot in the playoffs.
While the game against the Columbus Blue Jackets won't be vital in the long run, every win counts, and against a rival, even more so.
Fortunately for NHL fans, the game is only pushed ahead a half hour and not rescheduled for a later date or time.
Captain Dylan Larkin leads the team in points (13), goals (6), and assists (7).
Can they stay consistent down the stretch when it matters?
