from Ansar Khan of Mlive, The Detroit Red Wings will try to reach the 100-point mark for the 12th consecutive season, extending their own NHL record, when they visit the St. Louis Blues tonight at Scottrade Center.
Detroit has 99 points with three games remaining.
“I’d like to get that just because (general manager) Kenny Holland’s got that streak going,’’ coach Mike Babcock said after Wednesday’s optional morning skate. “San Jose looks like it’s going to make the playoffs. We’re the only two teams that have made the playoffs every year since the lockout. That says a lot about ownership and consistency we’ve had.
“But all the stuff doesn’t matter much. It’s all about this year now.’‘

For a site named after one Darren Helm, there's been a dearth of discussion of him lately. Partly because Drew's been in and out around here and he's the one with the well deserved man-crush on #43. But partly because Helmer's been out for a while. But today, we got some good news on the kid.

DET (48-27-5) are 4th in Conference again thanks to a miraculous come-from-behind road victory at STL last night. The Wings rallied from, what had to be total dejection going down 2 goals in the 3rd. The PP has become indescribably bad. At one time, in the not too distant past, you could reasonably expect it to score a goal per game, it was so good. Nowadays, you just hope...

Did I just write one of these? Whatever. Wings lost 2-1 to the Devils tonight. Seems to me they were just gassed after playing an OT game on the road against the Blues and just couldn't finish strong. A wasted opportunity, but if they had a day off, I think this game ends differently.Jump for the Recap:
Hudler had a strong game. Late in the second period he made a great...
