The Detroit Red Wings have not been in the Stanley Cup Playoffs since the 2015-16 season. For a team that once went 25 consecutive seasons in the playoffs, that nine-year drought is a significant fall from grace.
The Toronto Maple Leafs suffered what I would describe as the only loss in recent days that hasn’t been infuriating to watch from a fan’s perspective.

Toronto Maple Leafs forward Max Domi was in excellent form during Saturday’s 7-5 victory over the Ottawa Senators, recording three assists.

Not great news on the injury front for the Toronto Maple Leafs today before game time, and not much relief for fans hoping for a lineup change either. Craig Berube doesn’t like to overshare when it comes to injuries, and that hasn’t changed.

According to several sources, head coach Craig Berube said, “Indefinite as of right now.” Meanwhile, Easton Cowan will sit for a third straight game, Berube said he’s had “conversations with him…” He added, “we won last game.
