Nashville − The Red Wings can't afford to lose many more games if they harbor any playoff dreams.
It's getting difficult mathematically for the Wings with only 15 games remaining on the schedule.
A loss like Tuesday's in Nashville, 2-1, to the Predators, certainly doesn't help matters.
Alex Chiasson scored his third goal, a power-play goal at 17 minutes, 44 seconds of the third period, cutting the Predators' lead to 2-1.
But the Wings couldn't get the equalizer and suffered a costly loss.
Nashville (34-24-7) is 8-2-1 in its last 11 games and are making an unexpected late-season playoff push itself.
