At 10-10-2 after their Thanksgiving eve 2-1 overtime victory over the Calgary Flames, the Detroit Red Wings aren't there – but they're close, grouped with a handful of teams neck-for-neck for a wild card spot.

Cossa isn’t Detroit’s only top goalie prospect. The Red Wings’ 2023 second-round pick, Augustine also has a .931 save percentage for the Spartans through nine games — which, if he can keep it up, should place him in the top 10 of eligible goalies once he plays that 10th game.

Among the Thanksgiving traditions, this is one the Detroit Red Wings are choosing not to celebrate. Even with their two-game win streak, the Red Wings are sitting two points shy of a playoff spot as people are gathering around the family table for their festive feast of turkey.
