Its looking like the wildcard race in the East is going to be exciting

The Jackets problem this season has been performing on the road. They are 17-5-3 at home this season meanwhile they are 8-14--4 on the road. And that's with most of their injuries, no Monahan, no Jenner, no Chinakov and they haven't had Gudbranson all season.

It'll be interesting to see if they keep up their success once Jenner comes back, he's supposedly traveling with the team on this road trip and will play soon.

If there’s one team I wish to see in a playoff spot it’s the Jackets.

That’s a lot of ground to make for the Red Wings to reach Florida. Florida is pacing 99 points this season.

For the Red Wings to finish the season with 99 points they need to have 44 points in 31 games.

They need to go 21-8-2 during that span.

I’d be surprised if they can keep up that pace for much longer. All the teams in the race have gone on hot stretches and have fell back down to earth (Montreal, Ottawa, NYI, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Columbus, Philly and even Tampa)

I'd like to see Detroit get past Tampa at the very least. See some young talent in the fight. It's looking like there may only be one Original Six team in the playoffs.
