from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,
If the Detroit Red Wings miss the playoffs for the first time in 20 years, a primary contributing factor will be their inability to win games in overtime. Detroit is just 6-12 overall in extra time, with eight of the losses coming in shootouts. Only the Columbus Blue Jackets and Boston Bruins (9) have lost more. The Calgary Flames, Detroit’s closest challengers, aren’t much better in extra time (5-9, with six of shootout losses), but the Nashville Predators are (8-5), the primary reason they’re seventh and still in the thick of the race with two more talented squads.
