The Red Wings have to take a late season road trip to face the Penguins. Unlike the games of old, though, when the Red Wing were a decent team this game will not matter as the Penguins are struggling tremendously and are relying more on the younger talent than they are anything else. The good news is the way the talent is looking now, it will be a good Red Wings team in a couple of years.
One position that could change may be the goalie position. The Red Wings have relied on Jimmy Howard this year with 22 wins, but he has allowed 3.02 goals a game and saved only 90.9% of the shots that have been sent his way.
