Detroit — Just shy of two weeks ago, the world was such a happy place for a Red Wings fan. It hadn’t been so filled with joy an wonder for so long. Maybe since that playoff spring in 2016. The February 23 victory over the New York Rangers, a convincing 4-1 win, was the Wings’

Philadelphia – The Red Wings continue to talk about making the playoffs, all the time knowing the odds are getting slimmer by the day. But it sure would help if they won some games.

Elmont, N.Y. – You suspect Saturday’s Red Wings’ game might be a template of many others in these final 20 games of the regular season. Play hard, stay close, tease a victory, but ultimately a tough loss. The New York Islanders scored two goals in 2 minutes, 28 seconds early in the third period to
