|
| | | DETROIT: LAST SEASON: 34-40-8, 76 points. Last in the Metropolitan Division, missed the playoffs.
COACH: John Tortorella, second year, 34-32-8
ADDED: C Sam Gagner, D Scott Harrington, LW Pierre-Luc Dubois.
LOST: RW Rene Bourque, RW Jared Boll, D Fedor Tyutin, D Justin Falk, LW Kerby Rychel.
PLAYER TO WATCH: LW Brandon Saad. Acquired in a trade with Chicago before last season, the 23-year-old Saad scored 31 goals and added 22 assists for 53 points, all career highs. He and center Boone Jenner were among the few bright spots in the team's dismal season last year. That pair, along with right wing Cam Atkinson will make a potent first line.
OUTLOOK: Columbus made no blockbuster deals in the off-season, meaning it is starting the season with the same group of players that made it one of the NHL's sad sacks last year. But team president John Davidson believes his players will perform up to their potential under Tortorella, who replaced Todd Richards after seven games last season. He's also ready to tap into the talented pool of players that helped the Lake Erie Monsters win the AHL's Calder Cup. A fully healthy Sergei Bobrovsky in the net will be a huge boost. Still, everything will have to click just right to get the Blue Jackets to the playoffs. | | TAMPA BAY: LAST SEASON: 49-24-9, 107 points. Second in Central Division. Lost to San Jose Sharks in Western Conference finals.
COACH: Ken Hitchcock, sixth season with Blues (224-103-36) , 20th season overall (757-453-88-106).
ADDED: F David Perron, G Carter Hutton.
LOST: C David Backes, F Troy Brouwer, G Brian Elliott, F Steve Ott.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Jake Allen. The Blues made the 26-year-old goalie their go-to guy in net after trading Brian Elliott to Calgary for a second-round draft pick. Allen went 26-15-3 with a 2.35 goals-against average, .920 save percentage and six shutouts in 47 games last season while splitting time with Elliott.
OUTLOOK: The Blues lost veteran forwards David Backes and Troy Brouwer in free agency but return plenty of firepower offensively, led by Vladimir Tarasenko, Alexander Steen and Paul Stastny. St. Louis still has one of the deepest groups of defenseman in the NHL with Alex Pietrangelo, now the team's captain, Jay Bouwmeester, Kevin Shattenkirk and youngster Colton Parayko. |
| | Lightning face must-win against eliminated Wings
TAMPA, Fla. -- The Detroit Red Wings are missing the playoffs for the first time in 25 years, while the Tampa Bay Lightning are just trying to avoid joining them on the golf course. A 4-1 Detroit loss at Carolina on Tuesday night -- the Red Wings' third game in as many days and fourth in five days -- officially eliminated the Wings from playoff contention, though they are trying to maintain the franchise's same intensity without the postseason ahead. "We're treating every game like a playoff game -- we have to make sure we maintain the culture," Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill said after Tuesday's loss, looking forward to a single day of rest before facing the Lightning. Detroit (31-33-12) has gone 3-1-1 in its last five games despite the arduous schedule, and Blashill said there is an importance to understanding how the smallest mistake can prove costly in tight games late in the season. "The line between winning and losing in this league is so minimal," he said. "We're going to go back to work on Thursday and come out ready to go. Our focus is going to be on getting regrouped." Tampa Bay (37-29-9) goes into Thursday's game three points behind Boston for the final wild card in the Eastern Conference, and four games behind Toronto for third place in the Atlantic Division. The Lightning will face Detroit with the confidence of knowing they somehow won 10 of their last 11 against the Red Wings, including a 4-1 series win in last year's conference quarterfinals, as well as all four meetings this season. Less than a week ago, Tampa Bay pulled out a 2-1 overtime win at Detroit, but it won't be easy to pull off the season sweep. "I think every team is dangerous," Lightning coach Jon Cooper said after practice Wednesday. "They've had a little bit of a grind here, but they're continuing to win. They're not going to lay over for us. They're in position to play spoiler now, and we have to be ready for that." Thursday is a pivotal night in the Eastern playoff picture -- all five teams competing for just two spots are in action, so the Lightning could find themselves within a single point with six games to play, or five points back if things go wrong. Tampa Bay is coming off perhaps their best comeback win of the season, rallying from a 4-1 second-period deficit to beat Western Conference-leading Chicago in overtime on Monday night. They hadn't rallied from a three-goal deficit to win a game since 2011, but it still only counts two points in the standings. With less than two weeks remaining in the final stretch of the regular season, every point will count, with the Islanders and Hurricanes one point behind them in the chase for the final playoff berth. "We know it's a must-win for us," Cooper said. While he is not expected to play Thursday, Lightning captain Steven Stamkos said he is close to returning to the lineup on the heels of participating in every drill during Wednesday's practice. His return would be a boost to Tampa Bay's playoff chances. "It's progressing really well," said Stamkos, who had arthroscopic surgery for a lateral meniscus tear in his right knee on Nov. 17. Cooper deemed the superstar as day-to-day. |
