Wings struggling to overcome injuries

How many NHL teams could lose 12 players from their roster last season and still remain competitive? Even with the deep talent pool the Detroit Red Wings happen to enjoy, they are battling injuries to some key players, and as a result, are currently holding down the 8th seed in the Western Conference with 39 points. (First place LA has 45 points)

The Wings currently have the following players in the injured list;

Johan Franzen - Knee
Niklas Kronwall - Knee
Dan Cleary - Shoulder
Darren Helm - Wrist
Valtteri Filppula - Wrist
Jason Williams - Ankle
Jonathon Ericsson - Knee
Andreas Lilja - Concussion

Lets keep our fingers crossed that the major injuries are finished for the season...

if this team can get healthy, they will be a scary #8 seed.
