Red Wings Weekday Rooting Guide (2/13 - 2/16)

Playoff chances for the Wings are dwindling. I am an eternal optimist, but this post is losing relevance with each loss as the Wings sink deeper into last place.

Best case scenario from the weekend that was

2nd Atlantic: Ottawa - 53 GP 64 PTS

3rd Atlantic: Toronto - 54 GP 61 PTS

2nd Wild Card: Boston - 58 GP 60 PTS

In the Hunt

Philadelphia - 56 GP 59 PTS

NY Islanders - 54 GP 58 PTS

Detroit - 56 GP 58 PTS

Florida - 54 GP 56 PTS

New Jersey - 55 GP 56 PTS

Buffalo - 56 GP 56 PTS

Carolina - 53 GP 55 PTS

Tampa Bay - 56 GP 54 PTS
