Absolutely massive stretch coming here for the Wings. They've definitely tightened up their game in a BIG way lately with their new "top six" defense.

Since their 8-3 route of the Canucks, the Wings have scored only 6 goals and allowed 6 goals in their last 4 games. Four straight 2-1 games.

Their next 5 games are:

vs Edm
@CBJ
vs CBJ
@Cgy
@Edm

On paper they're all winnable games against non playoff teams.....but they've lost two of three to Columbus as well as their only game to Calgary so far.

See my above post....the Wings have tightened up in a huge way lately and Babcock seems to be sticking with what's working. They absolutely dominated territorially against the Oilers tonight. Also doesn't hurt that Kindl has actually looked great lately. Much more poise and confidence.

Also..,,I'm gonna kill Brunner if he goes for the Long empty netter again!

Detroit simply didn't bring it today against the Blue Jackets, they were outplayed throughout the entire game. Hard working players like Ryan Johansen and Nick Foligno were front and centre for the Blue Jackets and Sergei Bobrovsky made 29 saves, picking up the shutout in a 3-0 win over the Red Wings. Cam Atkinson, Jack Johnson and Foligno tallied goals for Columbus.

This is not Jonas Gustavsson's fault, the team was just flat today. Mike Babcock called a timeout during the game and said absolutely nothing to his team, they did start playing better as the game went on but Bobrovsky was equal to the task.

Detroit will try and bounce back on Sunday as they finish off a home and home series with the Blue Jackets. Puck drop is at 5 PM.

Another ffreaking loss to the Blue Jackets!! They definitely have the Wings number this year and they've thoroughly outplayed them in most games.

I have to admit....Kindl has really impressed me this year. He's clearly gaining confidence for the ice tme and not being a healthy scratch every other game.

Gustav Nyquist regained sole possession as the leading scorer in the AHL today with a three point effort against Hamilton. I wanted to go to the game at Copps....but can't miss semi final men's league hockey now can I!?!

Also.....Kris Newbury is third in the league with 53 points in 59 games. WTF

Another game the Wings let slip away, but this time they lost in a shootout to the Blue Jackets. Derick Brassard and R.J. Umberger scored in regular for the Columbus, while Detroit countered with goals from Jakub Kindl and Johan Franzen. Sergei Bobrovsky turned aside 21 of 23 shots fired his way, while Jimmy Howard stopped 19 of 21 shots he faced.

Pavel Datsyuk's 32nd career shootout goal gives him the most shootout goals of all time, but that wasn't enough as Ryan Johansen made a beautiful move on Jimmy Howard and Matt Calvert would score as well. Henrik Zetterberg and Damien Brunner could not beat Sergei Bobrovsky, as he sealed the 3-2 win. This win gives Columbus a five-game win streak.

Detroit has a little Western road trip coming up in their next three games as they travel to Calgary on Wednesday, Edmonton on Thursday and Vancouver on Saturday.

The kid definitely deserves it. Here's hoping he gets a shot on a scoring line.
