MoTown is right. They'll make the playoffs, injuries or not. This will do them good too. Guys like Helm are getting lots of minutes and showing good things. If all these guys come back healthy they will be a very deep team (something not thought of after FAs left here this offseason). Howard has looked as good as any Detroit netminder since Dom was in his prime too. He's let a few in, but who hasn't in recent years?

I think the draw is more important than the seed anyway. Hopefully they can get to the 4-5 seed range and at least avoid the better teams until the conference finals.
