The Detroit Red Wings will likely extend their playoff drought to 11 seasons, putting their dismal run behind only one in NHL history. The franchise finally ran out of patience with one of its all-time greats when it moved Steve Yzerman out of his role as general manager in July. Former captain Dylan Larkin requested a trade, but the team wasn't able to move the 30-year-old center before training camp.

Detroit opens the season Oct. 2 at home against the New York Rangers.
