The NHL has juggled the divisions for this year to try and navigate these troubling waters of the coronavirus. As a result, the Detroit Red Wings will be lumped into the Central Division that features some familiar foes — the Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning — while bringing on some new rivals — the Carolina Hurricanes and Dallas Stars.
Of course, the best part about the new crop of opponents is the renewed bad blood of the Central Division of old, pitting them against the Chicago Blackhawks, Columbus Blue Jackets and Nashville Predators.
