The Detroit Red Wings have been without a few of their forwards lately. Due to injuries up the middle with their centermen, the Red Wings have had to improvise. J.T. Compher may be back, but Dylan Larkin is not back with the team. This has left the Detroit Red Wings scrambling to find replacement forwards.

When it rains, it pours. The age-old motto rings especially true for the Detroit Red Wings as of late. Sure, Dylan Larkin and J.T. Compher are back, but Klim Kostin is out once again, getting hurt just as quickly as he returned. However, the worrisome part is the goaltending situation. After the Detroit Red Wings

Before we get into the disaster that took place on Monday night between the Detroit Red Wings and the Anaheim Ducks, we need to shout from the rooftops that captain Dylan Larkin returned to the lineup following the terrifying scene just nine days prior against the Ottawa Senators. Last week, head coach Derek Lalonde mentioned

The Detroit Red Wings’ goaltending situation is something that has been an interesting topic of discussion as of late. Ville Husso has seemingly played better, even in Red Wings losses. While the goal he caused in the loss to the Hurricanes was downright maddening to watch, he has made some better saves and has not

The Detroit Red Wings were blanked by Samuel Ersson and the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday night 1-0. The Red Wings struggled to summon much offense until late in the contest when they saw a few great opportunities to score with their net empty. The Flyers, under head coach John Tortorella, play a sound defensive game;

Ville Husso’s recent blunder spoiled his best performance of the season in the Detroit Red Wings home loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night. Still, signs suggest he’s finally playing himself out of his lengthy slump that stems back to last season. It’s been a rough season to date for Detroit’s appointed No. 1

The Detroit Red Wings are expected to have some reinforcements return to their lineup just in time as they head to Philadelphia to square off with the Flyers on Saturday night. I say just in time because the Detroit Red Wings have unfortunately lost four of their last five contests and are 4-5-1 over their

My sister retells the story of her that includes my late cousin. They’re in the car listening to his favorite song when she asks my cousin, “Why is this your favorite song?” He answers. “The song is okay, but read what it says on the radio.” “Pinch Me, Barenaked Ladies,” she remarks. Laughing aloud. Although

A promising sign for the Detroit Red Wings, captain Dylan Larkin took part in the morning skate on Thursday, albeit in a grey, noncontact jersey, but he was at least out there with the boys for a workout. It’s the first time Larkin has skated with the club since the scary scene nearly a week

The Detroit Red Wings have fallen ill to the same issues that plague them game-in and game-out. Goaltending may have been better than it was as of late, but the second goal was abysmal, absolutely abysmal. However, the Detroit Red Wings are also not helping out their goaltenders. I’ll admit, I would have liked to

The Detroit Red Wings are undermanned and struggling to maintain. Sure, some players are stepping up, but they could very much benefit from getting J.T. Compher back in the lineup. He’s been out injured lately, and the Red Wings need him back in the lineup. For the Detroit Red Wings, anything helps. Compher being back

The Detroit Red Wings are in a tough spot right now with their missing players. They are without a few key centermen in Dylan Larkin and J.T. Compher. While Compher may be back soon, it leaves the Red Wings short-handed. Klim Kostin is on the IR, and David Perron is suspended. But, amid all the

Ever since Detroit Red Wings forward Dylan Larkin had to be helped off the ice after being knocked out in the first period against the Ottawa Senators, J.T. Compher was placed on Injured Reserve, and David Perron was suspended for six games after seeking justice for Larkin, there has been an opportunity for some of

The Detroit Red Wings may have their own issues to worry about, but if you were worried about Steve Yzerman’s trading abilities (which you shouldn’t be), the Red Wings just won. In 2022-23, the Red Wings traded Jakub Vrana to the St. Louis Blues in exchange for a depth minor-leaguer and a seventh-round pick. It

Since Dylan Larkin’s injury, the Detroit Red Wings have looked like a completely different team. In fairness, Detroit had already been without their No. 2 center, J.T. Compher, but losing Larkin and forcing head coach Derek Lalonde to fill out his lineup card without his top two centermen just isn’t fair. With those two pieces

The Detroit Red Wings are playing with some key pieces missing. Between Dylan Larkin and J.T. Compher being injured up the middle, they also missed their muscle in Klim Kostin, who’s injured. On top of that, David Perron was suspended after Saturday’s fireworks, which still leaves many fans puzzled. During Tuesday night’s game, it was

The Detroit Red Wings are in a tough spot right now. Injuries are doing the team dirty, leaving them without their two standout centers and their muscle in Klim Kostin. Now, they will also be without David Perron. A suspension has been handed out in the aftermath of the Detroit Red Wings game against the

The Detroit Red Wings had their spot in the playoffs all but cut out with how well things were going. Plus, the team was able to bring in Patrick Kane. His signing was a breath of fresh air on its own, and now the Red Wings’ future looks much murky. The Detroit Red Wings will

The undermanned Detroit Red Wings traveled to Dallas to square off with the Stars. Detroit now remains winless over their last 11 games in Dallas, going 0-8-3 over that span with a 6-3 loss Monday night. The Detroit Red Wings were without their top two centers, which put them in quite a vulnerable position. On

The Detroit Red Wings may have suffered a real tough loss against the Ottawa Senators on Saturday night. While the real loss comes with Dylan Larkin’s injury and the drama surrounding that, there were some positives to take away. Rather than dwell on the negatives, which are indeed a problem, why not remove some positives?
