Detroit's Draft Lottery Scenario

04/03/2018 at 10:47am EDT

from Arpon Basu of The Athletic,

The other significant game is also Thursday when the Canadiens visit Detroit. If the Red Wings manage to win at the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday, this game will lose much significance for them because they’ll essentially be locked in to the 26th spot and might even risk moving higher in the standings with the Edmonton Oilers and New York Islanders not too far ahead of them. That would also make Detroit’s season finale against the Islanders very interesting. But if they lose in Columbus, the Red Wings would have some interest in losing to the Canadiens as well because that would leave the teams one point apart in the standings, assuming Montreal loses to the Winnipeg Jets at home on Tuesday. If the Canadiens win against the Jets, playing a back-to-back, that game Thursday in Detroit becomes even more important.

Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
