Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images The Detroit Red Wings took care of business on Thursday night. Behind Dylan Larkin ‘s hat trick, the Red Wings easily beat the Philadelphia Flyers by a score of 6-3. Detroit earned a critical two points; however, the organization didn’t get much help out of town.
The Ottawa Senators beat the Florida Panthers , putting them three points above the Red Wings with three games left. Time is ticking for Detroit and it must hope from help from the outside. For now, the NHL team has to focus on what it can control.
Detroit Red Wings must keep winning to stay in the playoff race Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images The plan moving forward is simple. The Red Wings have to keep winning if they want to make the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs. With three games left, the Red Wings need the Senators to lose two of their remaining three games.
Detroit would have to win out and it starts with the New Jersey Devils on Saturday evening . Since Ottawa holds the tiebreaker, it must lose two games in regulation while Detroit wins all three games against the Devils, Panthers, and Tampa Bay Lightning . It is a relatively easy schedule for the Red Wings, with the major matchup being the Lightning on Monday, April 13.
