As the NHL regular season winds down, the Detroit Red Wings are fighting hard for the final Eastern Conference wild card spot. Amidst a string of rollercoaster games, franchise star and team right winger Patrick Timothy Kane II has made one thing clear to his teammates and head coach Todd McLellan : it's now or never.
Patrick Kane leads teammates as Detroit Red Wings battles for wild card berth
With eight games left, the Detroit Red Wings are in a heated race with the Montreal Canadiens , New York Rangers , and Columbus Blue Jackets . Every game matters, and Detroit must somehow string together victories if they're going to put an end to their lengthy drought of playoff action.
Despite glimpses of excellence, the Detroit Red Wings have struggled to carry on from game to game, making their push to the playoffs an arduous struggle. Told to NHL.com, Patrick Kane reiterated the team's future lies within its control.
“You can look at it and study it, but it comes down to winning hockey games ourselves,” Kane stated. “We were talking about it, you win one game, you’re one point out. Suddenly, the Rangers and Canadiens win, and you’re three points out. So that’s just kind of the nature of the situation we’re in. Obviously, we’re going to need to have a good record here down the stretch.”
With the standings changing game by game, Patrick Kane's message is simple—Detroit can't count on other teams to fall short. The only way is to take matters into their own hands and deliver when it counts. The Detroit Red Wings have suffered through eight consecutive seasons without a playoff visit, the second-longest active drought in the NHL behind only the Buffalo Sabres' 13-year slide. Buffalo likely won't break their streak this season, but Detroit still holds a glimmer of hope—if they can live up to the challenge.
Detroit Red Wings’ intimidating schedule left with time expiring
The path forward will not be easy. The Red Wings, per Tankathon, have the league's most difficult schedule left to play, with all eight of their next opponents in playoff position. In contrast, Montreal, a team the Red Wings must pass, has considerably easier sailing with just three of their last eight games against teams making the playoffs.
The cards are against them, but Patrick Kane and the Red Wings will not give up until the bitter end. If they wish to put an end to their eight-season playoff slump once and for all, they'll have to put the pedal to the metal and take the challenge head-on.

With every game feeling like a must-win, Detroit’s resilience will be put to the test. Can they rise to the occasion and make a late-season push, or will another year of frustration await Red Wings fans? The answer will come soon enough.
