McLellan on Jonatan Berggren's Path Back into Lineup: "Sometimes You Gotta Steal from your Teammate"The last two times out, as Red Wings coach Todd McLellan and his staff have put together their lineup, they have omitted Jonatan Berggren's name from the forward group.
According to MoneyPuck’s model, the Red Wings have a 9.3 percent chance of reaching the postseason.
The only other Eastern Conference teams with a lower chance of making the playoffs are the Boston Bruins, Philadelphia Flyers, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Buffalo Sabres. Of those teams, only the Sabres have no chance of making it.
The Red Wings currently have 68 points, two points back of the final Wild Card team, the Columbus Blue Jackets. The New York Rangers also have 70 points but have played 66 games to the Red Wings' (and Blue Jackets') 65.
Can The Red Wings Make The Playoffs?Nobody likes losing.
There is always a chance because so much of making the playoffs is outside of the players’ control. They can’t influence how other games play out.
What they can control is their individual performances. The Red Wings have 17 games remaining on the schedule, which is plenty of time to close the gap and pull ahead of other teams in the running.
Buckle up, Red Wings fans, the end of this season could be a photo finish.
