The Detroit Red Wings are now tied for 5th place with the Montreal Canadiens (who have a game in hand) in the Atlantic Eastern Conference after losing last night 2-5 to the Washington Capitals at Capital One Arena. It was their 5th loss in a row. And with minimal upgrades made by the NHL trade deadline yesterday, their playoff chances seem quite slim.
Here are the Eastern Division standings as of this morning:
