The Detroit Red Wings are chasing their first playoff spot in eight years. Recently, the team has run into difficulties.
The Detroit Red Wings, who are fighting for the Eastern Conference playoff spots in the ice hockey NHL, have found themselves in a predicament, which is already visible in the team’s training. The pride of the automobile city, which was locked in a playoff spot a moment ago, is currently reeling in a six-game losing streak.
Emotions ran high during Wednesday’s training when the Swedish striker Lucas Raymond and Canadian defender Ben Chiarot drifted into a fight. It wasn’t a playful showdown, as the teammates had to intervene and separate the duo.
Detroit suffered a crushing 3-7 loss to the Buffalo Sabers in their previous match. However, for Detroit, the situation has not yet been dented in terms of the playoffs, as the New York Islanders and Tampa Bay are only within striking distance.
Known as a seasoned playoff team in the early 2000s, Detroit has not played in the playoffs for eight years. It won its previous Stanley Cup in the 2007–2008 season.
21-year-old Raymond is considered one of the most promising young hockey players in Sweden at the moment. The fourth booking of the booking event four years ago is playing its most efficient NHL season.
He has scored 18 goals and 53 points in 65 games. In his team’s internal point exchange, he is third by Dylan Larkin and by Alex DeBrincat after.
The 32-year-old Chiarot, who has a reputation as a basic defender, has played 625 regular season games in the NHL. He has also represented Winnipeg, Montreal and Florida in his career.
