The Detroit Red Wings will play their final game of the season against the Florida Panthers at the Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida. The Red Wings, with a record of 41-30-10 and 92 points, have had a disappointing season, becoming only the second NHL team to achieve 69 points in the first 53 games and still miss the playoffs, a feat last accomplished by the Montreal Canadiens in the 1969-70 season. The Panthers, who have been hampered by injuries, have won two of three matchups against the Red Wings this season. Notably, left winger Matthew Tkachuk has been effective since his return, contributing 32 points in 30 games. Meanwhile, several Red Wings players will head to the AHL playoffs with the Grand Rapids Griffins, where they will gain valuable playoff experience. The AHL playoffs are set to begin in the last week of April.
