As the offseason ramps up for the Minnesota Wild, speculation about what the roster could look like next year has begun. Last week in The Athletic, Michael Russo and Joe Smith braised perhaps the most popular sentiment amongst the fan base: The Wild cannot go into next season with Marcus Johansson as their only option to play left wing on the second line. Minnesota gifted him that spot this past year, and he responded with only 30 points. The good news is that the Wild finally had a few prized prospects make the jump to the NHL toward the end of last year.
"It was an exciting season, I think for us all, a bit of a roller coaster," Detroit Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman said Friday at Little Caesars Arena.
The Detroit Red Wings were knocked out of playoff contention once again on Tuesday night, and it hardly could have come in more gut-wrenching fashion. Patrick Kane scored the shootout winner in a 5-4 Detroit win over the Montreal Canadiens in their regular-season finale, completing a comeback after a dramatic game-tying goal from David Perron with 3.3 seconds left in regulation. The Red Wings entered the night tied with Washington for the East's second wild-card spot with 89 points, but the Capitals held the tiebreaker over Detroit with more regulations wins.
