Wings have Playoffs on Their Minds: NHL dot Com
The Wings are firmly in the playoff picture with the way they have been playing over the last month. Saturday’s win only fueled that.
“In their first game after the break, the Red Wings came back from a 3-1 deficit in the third period to defeat the Vancouver Canucks 4-3 in overtime at Little Caesars Arena on Saturday,” Cotsonika wrote. “It was the seventh time this season they had won when trailing entering the third period, and they did it against a team that took sole possession of first place in the NHL with a point.”

Suspension looms for Toronto’s Morgan Rielly: ESPN
Rielly is likely going to miss some time after he crosschecked Ridly Grieg after an empty-net slapshot goal. It was a punk move by Rielly if you ask me, but you be the judge:
