Game Day Updates: Wings vs. Habs

Welp. This is it, folks. After last night’s thrilling OT win at LCA, the Wings have one last order of business before the regular season wraps up.

Tonight is game 82 for the Red Wings in Montreal, and of course, Detroit will end the season with an extremely important game in terms of their playoff hopes. The Wings will still need help from out of town to slip into the second wild card spot, but first order of business is securing the W.

Four teams are still in contention in the epic Eastern Conference playoff race, including two who have the ability to clinch the 16th and final spot in the 2024 #StanleyCup Playoffs on Tuesday (@Capitals or @DetroitRedWings).#NHLStats: https://t.co/DX3k1LsF9f pic.twitter.com/E8uZYl3YRO

Biggest change for tonight will be in goal. James Reimer is slated to get the start after Alex Lyon lucked out a win yesterday.
