Three games against the Blues and Blackhawks, and four each against the Blue Jackets and Predators. I know they want teams to play within their own division at the end of the season, but isn't this just a tad ridiculous?

I'm more concerned with whether they're going to win more than 3 of these games than I am with who they're playing them against.

Its the NHLs way of creating inter-divisional competition. I believe they're doing it across the league this year. One advantage for the WINGS is that most of their remaining games are at home and their travel time/distances are minimized. The bad thing is that the WINGS record against divisional opponents is not good.

I'm pretty positive that the Wings wil break out of the slump before the end of the season. I just hope they do it before they get too many injured players back, or the team mentality might be that they can't get by without those players.

Good point. There doesn't seem to be any question how valuable the injured players are to the Wings. Cleary, Lidstrom, Chelios, and until the last game Kronwell. Injuries to these players seem to have even shut down the WING offense. I presume because the offensive players have had to focus on defense.
