Detroit has established a reputation as being one of the strongest franchises in the NHL. That’s proven by the team’s 22-season playoff streak. While this run of excellence almost came to an end this season, the club managed to battle their way into the league’s second season as the West’s No. 7 seed.
The Red Wings won the season series between the clubs (2-1-0), but the road team won each game. Will that trend continue into the playoffs?
