Detroit Red Wings 2024 Stanley Cup Odds
From 1990-91 through 2015-16, the Detroit Red Wings made the Stanley Cup Playoffs every season. But 2016 was the last playoff campaign in the Motor City. As the All-Star Break approached, the Red Wings were in a back-and-forth race for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Detroit should be in the race until the end and stands a good shot at finally getting back into postseason play. But if Detroit will end its playoff drought, it must tighten up defensively. Goaltending and defense remain liabilities that general manager and former Red Wing star Steve Yzerman must address before the trade deadline.
