The Wings and Hawks, less than 300 miles apart, will have more off days in their first four games than Detroit and Anaheim did.
The Wings haven't won a game against Chicago as the lower seed since April 19, 1966. Swept in 1970 and 1985.
The Wings haven't been the lower seed in a series with Chicago since the Blackhawks swept the best-of-five 1985 Norris Division Semifinals
