The Red Wings and Blackhawks take the ice tonight at 7PM eastern. The big story tonight is for Chicago who is coming off of two consecutive losses. At 38-15-14 on the season, the Blackhawks are one point behind the Colorado Avalanche for positioning in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
For Detroit the situation is more dire as the team is not currently in the top 8 of their Eastern Conference. The Red Wings did however gain 2 points after a win a home over the Edmonton Oilers on Friday.
