The Detroit Red Wings are entering the most pivotal stretch of the season — and everything is on the line.
With Dylan Larkin and Andrew Copp dealing with injuries, the Wings are being forced to prove if they truly have the depth, toughness, and coaching to survive a playoff race in the Eastern Conference.
In this episode of the Red Alert Podcast, we break down:
Why the next games vs Boston, Montreal, and Ottawa will define the season
How injuries to Larkin and Copp could change the entire playoff outlook
The emergence of players like Marco Kasper, Emmitt Finney, and Dominic Shine
Why physicality and “edge” may be the missing piece for Detroit
Whether Todd McLellan is carrying this team into the playoffs
This isn’t just hockey — this is playoff hockey BEFORE the playoffs.
If the Red Wings can survive this stretch, they’re in. If not… the season could slip away.
