Playoffs
Red Wings Need 100 Points to Sneak In
The Red Wings cling to the second wild-card spot with 80 points and just 15 games left, but their pace projects to under 98 and playoff odds hover around 35 percent. Facing a brutal Atlantic pack where even Pittsburgh eyes 100-plus, Steve Yzerman's crew battles injuries to Larkin, Copp, and now Raymond while scraping points against Tampa and Dallas. Every shift counts in this dogfight, as falling short means another year watching the postseason from afar.
