Looking back to the Detroit Red Wings championship-winning teams of 1997 and 1998, they can glean valuable lessons on what it takes to craft a winning formula and

The Detroit Red Wings are flying high following their victory over the Boston Bruins over the weekend and are headed to New York to square off with the Rangers on Tuesday night, but possibly without Dylan Larkin. First, the good news. The Detroit Red Wings will get forward Robby Fabbri back. Fabbri, 27, was injured

It seems like Halloween just wrapped up – and the turkey isn’t even thawed yet – but there’s no time to wait. Those sleigh bells are about to start ringing and you’ve got Detroit Red Wings fans in your life that need a great gift under the Christmas tree. Don’t wait until the last snowflake

It still seems shocking, but the Detroit Red Wings are getting plenty more than they bargained for out of Joe Veleno to kick off the 2023-24 season. Veleno continues to look good in the forward core, and while the offense may not be overflowing, he’s started to carve out a role. For the Detroit Red

The Detroit Red Wings had a tough go in their first match-up with the Boston Bruins. But they got their chance for a rematch with the Bruins on home ice. Detroit shook things up and tried to shuffle the deck, seeing head coach Derek Lalonde shake things up with the lines and special teams over

Ahead of Saturday’s game at home against the Boston Bruins, Detroit Red Wings head coach Derek Lalonde will shuffle the deck, hoping to create some offense. The Detroit Red Wings had a tremendous start to the season, leading the league in goals and power play percentage over the first couple of weeks, but things since

When the Detroit Red Wings host the Boston Bruins, the pregame meal is always a difficult chore. Sure,  Boston has a lot of possibilities, but are there any good ones? And will any of them please both the Boston and Detroit contingents? Remember, Boston was originally settled by the British, followed later by the Irish,

My, how the tables have turned. Last season, the Detroit Red Wings received tremendous play in goal from starter Ville Husso (for the majority of the season) and struggled to find any consistent play from their backups. This season, Husso has struggled early on, and James Reimer, the primary backup, has played exceptionally well. So

The Detroit Red Wings got back on track with an overtime win over the New York Islanders earlier this week, but their luck ran out as they went for their second win in a row. The Florida Panthers came to town and came out on top against the Red Wings in their barn. The Detroit

The Detroit Red Wings may not be too focused on their competition right now. The focus is on their own game and getting back on track after finally snapping their three-game skid with an overtime win against the Islanders. The Detroit Red Wings are competing atop the Atlantic Division. They may trail the Boston Bruins,

It’s hard to win games when you can’t score. I know, thanks, Captain Obvious, I get it. When the Detroit Red Wings were ripping off wins early on in the season, a lot was due to the fact their power play had been converting at a near 50% clip (12-29). Although that type of conversion

The Detroit Red Wings’ first ten games of the 2023-24 season are in the books, and they came out with a 6-3-1 record. The Red Wings are a completely rebuilt team with eight new skaters and two new goalies. Let’s take a look at how they did. The Detroit Red Wings Forward Lines First Ten

Michael Rasmussen, a former first-round pick, is flying under the radar a bit this season with all of the Detroit Red Wings off-season additions flourishing to begin the year. Rasmussen, 24, is an underappreciated two-way forward who began his career as a center but has thrived since head coach Derek Lalonde moved him over to

The Detroit Red Wings are back in action as they’re on home ice after a weekend road trip. After a two-game stretch out east, the Red Wings were able to snap their skid. They came up big in overtime against the New York Islanders. For the Detroit Red Wings, this will be an excellent chance

Much has been said about Detroit’s offensive outburst to begin the 2023-24 season. Most of the attention/credit has been directed toward the team’s top two scoring forwards, rightfully so, but the Detroit Red Wings also quietly have the top-scoring blue line through the first ten games of the season. Sure, Alex DeBrincat currently leads the

It seems like a lot of pundits — both of the professional and armchair variety — will end up owing the 2023-24 version of the Detroit Red Wings an apology of sorts. This team isn’t running away with the President’s Trophy, but they aren’t rapidly sinking down the dog-eat-dog Atlantic Division standings either. Ten games

The Detroit Red Wings faithful may be fixated on the NHL club and where the team is at after the first few weeks of the season. However, there was some news with regard to one of their younger players that is worth shedding some light on. The Detroit Red Wings announced that they have activated

In terms of leadership, communication, and humble attitudes, The Detroit Red Wings have never been starved of the qualities you look for in a captain, at least not recently. From Sid Abel to Dylan Larkin and everyone in between, the city of Detroit has been blessed with some incredible men who proudly wore the “C”

The Detroit Red Wings were able to pick up an overtime win against the New York Islanders on Monday. They were able to see their new signee come out and piece together an exceptional game, as has been the case early on in 2023-24. Detroit Red Wings forward J.T. Compher has been exceptional for the

Since making his debut for the Detroit Red Wings at the start of the 2021-22 season, Moritz Seider has had an enormous positive impact on the team. The big man has brought a solid physical presence to the Detroit blue line and has become known for his big hits and the tough physical style that
