montreal wins.  rangers lose.  cbus loses.

next two games are must wins if you still want to make the playoffs.

The Wings now control their destiny over Columbus, as they are tied in points and games and the Wings have a big lead in the tiebreaker.  Almost there against the Rangers, as if the Wings win their game in hand tomorrow they’ll be tied in games and points, although NYR has a big lead in that tiebreaker. Believe it or not, if the Wings win tomorrow and the Habs lose in regulation in Nashville, the Wings will control their destiny over the Habs as well. The Wings would be 4 pts back by tomorrow night, then a regulation win in Montreal on Tuesday would put the Wings 2 back but with a game in hand and the tiebreaker edge. Maybe 1%-3%  of making the playoffs?

0-0 Panthers at Wings after 1. Florida is practically icing a B team. Missing Barkov, Ekblad, Tkachuk, Kulikov, Sturm, others.

DeBrincat finally buries one of his chances. 1-0 Wings early in the 2nd.

Wings draw 1st blood against Florida in a must win game. They're ALL must win games now.

i dont even know if you can call this a "b" team.  its more like a c- team.

wings up 2-0 and it should be more.

[lordstanley]

2-0. Wings are all over them. 3 straight power plays has helped, so hope no makeup calls.

Wings play them again on Thursday in Florida so I hope the missing players take their long sweet time coming back.

ottawa only 2 back of florida now.

[lordstanley]

Fight!

Good work, Talbot. Still 2-0 Wings with 4 minutes to go.

I don't understand this team at all. They can go out and beat two of the best teams in the East back to back. But they can also go entire games in a row without a single point after coming back from the 4 Nations. Will the real Detroit Red Wings please stand up.

for.****s sake they cant even hit an open net from 10 feet out.

[lordstanley]

Oh man, that chance at the empty net should have ended the game. What a miss by DeBrincat.

Talbot is standing on his head at the end here.    Bad empty net miss by DeBrincat.   Let's not blow this.

[lordstanley]

40 seconds still to kill. 

[Motor City Sonics]

Here wo go.........they score under a minute. 

Why can't this team finish? 

[lordstanley]

Talbot! Two Sundays in a row.

Holy crap. 

If Talbot is not the #1 star tonight, then stop doing the 3 stars. 

[buddha]

talbot saves them.

the puck is just sitting there and the wings are all standing around watching.

oh wait, tarasenko, compher, and rasmussen on the ice.  that explains it.

[lordstanley]

Wings hang on … barely. 2-1 final. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Everyone ought treat Talbot for dinner at whatever restaurant he wants after the game. Grey Ghost, Selden Standard, The Whitney, Joe Muers. That dude saved their ass again tonight. 

[Sports_Freak]

Whew...pretty scary. We stay alive to fight again. My cat ran when I screamed...lol
