No. 27: Detroit Red Wings

Previous: No. 22

Record: 20-20-9 (49 points)

The Red Wings have lost their last four games in a row, including a 4-0 shutout to the Toronto Maple Leafs last Thursday. The other three losses were all overtime decisions, so at least it can be said that they were keeping things close in those games. They currently sit in last place in the Atlantic Division, but Buffalo and Tampa Bay aren’t too far in front of them.
