Red Wings playoff tickets on sale Friday

DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings are trying to get into the NHL playoffs for the 24th consecutive year.

They're far from being a definite lock for the postseason this year, but tickets for Red Wings 2015 playoff games will go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday (which happens to be the anniversary of the 1997 brawl with the Colorado Avalanche).

Tickets can be purchased at the Joe Louis Arena box office (313-471-7575), at all Ticketmaster outlets (800-745-3000) or online at DetroitRedWings.com.

The Red Wings beat the St. Louis Blues, 2-1, on Sunday and play again Tuesday at home against the Arizona Coyotes.
