The Detroit Red Wings aren't where they want to be — in the playoffs — but all four teams left in the playoffs have ties to the Wings.
The Edmonton Oilers, Colorado Avalanche, New York Rangers and Tampa Bay Lightning are left to battle for the Stanley Cup.
The Oilers have a strong tie to the Wings because of Ken Holland. He was named general manager in Edmonton in May 2019, one month after Steve Yzerman succeeded Holland as GM of the Wings. Holland and Yzerman have made multiple trades with one another, though none of the ex-Wings that went to Edmonton are still with the Oilers.
