USA Today’s Mary Clarke asks “one question” for every NHL team, and here’s her question for the Red Wings:
Detroit Red Wings: Can they play spoiler to a playoff team?
The Red Wings are in a tough spot in the 2022-23 season. Given all their offseason additions and the the return of the reigning Calder Trophy winner in Moritz Seider, the Red Wings should be a playoff team. However, the strength of the Atlantic Division is nothing to scoff at, as the Red Wings have stiff competition in the form of the Maple Leafs, Lightning, Panthers, Bruins, and likely Senators.
If one of the Atlantic’s heavy hitters falters, look to the Red Wings to potentially take their place if everything goes according to the Steve Yzerman plan.
