PHT’s Morning Skate takes a look around the world of hockey to see what’s happening and what we’ll be talking about around the NHL world and beyond.

Know how the Red Wings had that record-long home winning streak? They’d like to just string a couple together on the road where they’re 16-18-1 away from Joe Louis Arena. With how tight things are in the West, they might have to start on the road in the playoffs. (Detroit Free Press)

Meanwhile, the St. Louis Blues set a team record for wins at home in their win over Columbus with 29 victories at Scottrade Center. If the season ended today, they’d have home ice throughout the playoffs. (Post-Dispatch)

Speaking of using home ice to your advantage, that’s what the Panthers would like to do that very much. (Sun-Sentinel)
