GDT - Game 43: Red Wings (20-15-7) at Flames (16-22-4) 9:30

04/17/2013 at 7:42am EDT

Your Detroyet Red Wings have 47 pts (tied with CBJ, but DET have a game in hand) and sit in 8th place today, they trail 7th place STL by three points.

Tonights tilt with CGY, of the 6 games remaining on the schedule (@ CGY, @ VAN, PHX, LAK, NSH, @ DAL), is the opponent with the poorest record. The Flames defense is horrible, 3.38 GA/G, 0.68 5-5 F/A; both marks second worst in the league.

Win or go home.

About Abel to Yzerman

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.
