The Detroit Red Wings have played some awful hockey lately, and they're blowing an opportunity that has been handed to them.
On Saturday, the Atlantic Division looks like a strange place. The Montreal Canadiens, Detroit Red Wings, and Buffalo Sabres are ranked first, second, and third, respectively, and it's a trend that could continue if the Florida Panthers, Toronto Maple Leafs, Tampa Bay Lightning, and Boston Bruins, the so-called "haves," keep struggling.
Detroit contributed to the fray, upending the Panthers, the Lightning, and the Leafs, whom they beat twice.
