The Wild played last night at home in a game that ended at about 10:30 ET before heading to Detroit to face the Wings, who have been off since blowing a winnable game on Tuesday to stay outside the playoff picture. Ottawa's game-winner was a third-period fluke, but those count all the same. Take your picks on narratives here. The Wild are tired/angry/uncertain/warmed-up while the Wings are cold/rested/angry/uncertain.
Doom-and-gloom all over the room for the Wings abounds, as fans have seen them lose too many of the kind of games you have to win, but they're not eliminated until the math says so and right now the math says Detroit honestly has a good chance to make the postseason.
