Will the Wings Clinch the playoffs?

With only 7 games left in the season the 9th place Red Wings are currently struggling to clinch the playoffs for the 25th year straight.  While being tied with the Philadelphia Flyers at 85 points, each game can mean life or death for the Red Wings.  The problem the wings face currently right now is their wildly inconsistent play.  With goal-tending struggling each game more and more, it is being questioned that if Mrazek can handle being a starting goalie anymore.  With his save percentage dropping in the recent weeks compared to when he led the league in save percentage.  He seems to have lost his complete sense of concentration.  Although he is not all to blame, both offense and defense have struggled to keep their composure consistently throughout games.  Both sides of the ice need to focus on their forechecks and need to cycle the puck better in order to achieve that 8th place spot in the playoffs.
