The Detroit Red Wings are more accustomed to being comfortably atop the Central Division, with the Chicago Blackhawks way off in the distance.

Instead, it’s the Blackhawks dominating the division while the Red Wings are just trying to reach the playoffs.

Chicago can take the season series with a fourth consecutive win over Detroit on Sunday when the rivals meet at the United Center.

The Red Wings (30-22-12) have won the last eight Central titles, with most coming in comfortable fashion while also claiming four Presidents’ Trophies and two Stanley Cups over that stretch.

Detroit’s Central reign is all but mathematically over this season thanks to the Blackhawks (43-16-5), who last division crown came in 1992-93.

The Red Wings are third in the Central, three points back of Nashville but 19 behind first-place Chicago. Detroit is more concerned with just qualifying for the playoffs, currently holding the eighth and final postseason position by one point.

The Blackhawks, on the other hand, are competing with San Jose for the best record in the Western Conference, while also chasing Washington in the race for the NHL’s best record.

Chicago has won the last three meetings with the Wings after falling 3-2 at home to open the season series Oct. 8. The Blackhawks won 4-3 in a shootout at Detroit in the most recent matchup Jan. 17 after shutting them out twice in December.

Chicago made another statement Friday, scoring five first-period goals to chase Roberto Luongo en route to a 6-3 win over Northwest Division-leading Vancouver.
