Ouch, close game with the Caps results in a loss and allows the Wings to leapfrog us in the standings with their win. Good news is that the Kings also lost to the Sens and we remain only 2 back of them. Tight race for 5th place in the Howe and actually not too much seperating 2nd and 7th:
Hawks - 87 pts
Blues - 85 pts
Wild - 84 pts
Kings - 82 pts
Wings - 81 pts
Sharks - 80 pts
With our 2nd loss in 3 games, we're going to have to step it up a notch if we want to move up the ladder at all as all the teams ahead of us are capable of winning the majority of their remaining games. Next game is a big one versus the Wings and if we can't get the win there we'll likely be stuck in 7th for the rest of the season.
