No. 22: Detroit Red Wings

Previous: No. 25

Record: 20-19-8 (48 points)

Again, moving up not so much a product of playing well, but more so a product of other teams struggling. Detroit did manage to hold the Rangers’ vaunted offense to one goal in an overtime loss Sunday, almost a week after shutting out Montreal. There were also six-goal outbursts against Pittsburgh and Boston. So Detroit is showing something, but is it enough to keep the playoff streak alive?
