from Spector at Fox Sports,
Having previously examined the needs of those jockeying for postseason berths in the NHL’s two conferences as the trade deadline approaches, here’s a look at the needs of the top seeds in the conferences.
Detroit Red Wings: The defending Stanley Cup champions are sticking close to the Conference-leading Sharks in the standings. Offensively they’re still powerful, leading the league in goals and power-play percentage. Injuries have taken a bit of a toll as defenseman Brad Stuart and workhorse forward Tomas Holmstrom are out indefinitely although both should return in time for the playoffs. The real area of concern is between the pipes, where playoff hero Chris Osgood has struggled this season although they’ve gotten good goaltending from backup Ty Conklin. They rank 18th in goals against despite giving up the fifth-fewest shots, but GM Ken Holland insists he’s not in the market for a goalie.
