Detroit will decide their fate today

Its fairly simple for the Detroit Red Wings, win in regulation or overtime and you are in. They will clinch 3rd in the Atlantic with either of those outcomes.

As clear as that seems, they still have a tough task against a New York Rangers team who can also potentially move up the standings with a win. It is going to be a crazy day with lots of score board watching from every team involved in this insane race for the final 2 playoffs spots.

Here are the scenarios for the Red Wings as clearly shown by NHL.com depending on the outcome of today's games:

So this is it. The final game of the season will decide the fate of many teams. Let's hope the Wings make it easy for us and pick up the two points against the Rangers today.

Let's go Red Wings!
