DETROIT RED WINGS: TEAM LOOK-AHEAD
With new general manager and franchise legend Steve Yzerman at the helm, the Red Wings look to reach the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time since 2016 when their streak of 25 consecutive postseason appearances came to an end – tied for the third-longest such run in NHL history.
Yzerman served as team captain for the first 15 of those 25 straight postseason berths, capturing three Stanley Cups in that span (1997, 1998, 2002) in addition to going down in history as the franchise’s all-time leader in playoff goals and points (70-115—185 in 196 GP).
