commentary...

my opinion:the next two games for the Red Wings are critical for their chances for the playoffs,because they are six points behind the Toronto Maple Leafs,who is in their own division,but Columbus,Ottawa,and Washington are all one point behind the Red Wings for the fight for the eighth spot(second wild card spot),in the Eastern Conference... Red Wings,right now,are in eighth place in the Eastern Conference... the first three teams in all divisions automatically make,and two wild card teams,in both conferences,also make the Stanley Cup playoffs...
