The Detroit Red Wings played their preseason home opener at Little Caesars Arena on Thursday night.  The Red Wings showed their improved skill with a commanding 6-2 victory.  The top line of Pius Suter, Robby Fabbri and Lucas Raymond accounted for four goals.  The line dominated all night long and looked like a line that

The Detroit Red Wings offense exploded in the second period to power them over the Buffalo Sabres in their second straight victory of the preseason. First Period The first half of the period was evenly contested. Both teams got some good shots off, both goalies made some saves and the game was scoreless. Nine minutes

Moritz Seider, Joe Veleno and Lucas Raymond are the highlights of an exciting lineup in the Detroit Red Wings second game of the preseason. All eyes are on two prospects as they take on the Buffalo Sabres. Raymond, Seider Back in North America Tonight will be the first time many fans get a chance to

Forward Jakub Vrana will undergo shoulder surgery and will be out for at least months after suffering a shoulder injury in training camp. Vrana’s absence is a major blow to the lineup. Projected as a first liner, Vrana is coming off of an impressive performance in his first stretch as a Red Wing, scoring 11

The Detroit Red Wings rallied to beat the Chicago Blackhawks 4-3 in a shootout Wednesday night. Several things stood out but boy, one guy in particular really stood out. So we’ll start with the most obvious observation: Bobby Ryan deserves a contract. Suffice it to say, Ryan came, saw, and conquered in Chicago and possibly earned himself

The Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks officially kicked off their exhibition schedule, a time for the bubble players and the sure bet starters to show what they have.

Before the regular season, the Detroit Red Wings will have the preseason to finalize roster decisions and shake off a bit more of that offseason rust. Let’s look at some of the storylines to keep an eye on through the eight games. The Opponents: Sept. 29: Chicago Blackhawks Sept. 30: Buffalo Sabres Oct. 2: Columbus

Detroit Red Wings head coach Jeff Blashill continues to have more decisions to make as the preseason creeps closer. Beyond deciding his lineup for the first exhibition tilt against Chicago tomorrow, Blashill needs to determine how the preseason will affect his roster decisions should Jakub Vrana miss significant time while also having to fill the

Sam Gagner was quietly one of the more efficient members of the Detroit Red Wings bottom-six in 2020-21. Will the 2021-22 season be more of the same for the veteran forward?

The Detroit Red Wings don’t expect Jakub Vrana to be ready by the beginning of the season. This certainly puts Detroit behind the eight ball a bit–but it also opens up some possibilities. Jeff Blashill didn’t have update on Jakub Vrana (shoulder, seeing a specialist today) but mentioned there’s possibility Red Wings will have to

Expectations were quite low for Marc Staal heading into the ’20-’21 season after the New York Rangers sent the Detroit Red Wings a second round pick to take on his contract.

The Athletic’s Dom Luszczyszyn wrote his preview of the Detroit Red Wings and well, let’s just say it didn’t go over well with a lot of Red Wings fans.

The Detroit Red Wings played their Red and White game in front of a sold out crowd at Center Ice Arena in Traverse City. Here were the rosters, noting that Dylan Larkin, Jonatan Berggren, Jakub Vrana and Marc Staal were absent. (The Malik Report had some news on Larkin, Berggren, and Vrana) Mitchell Stephens opened

2020-21 was not a great year for Detroit Red Wings defenseman Danny DeKeyser. In his first year since back surgery, it seemed as though he had never fully recovered. If he wants to continue to play for the organization, ’21-’22 is going to be a pivotal year for him . Age: 31 Left Defenseman Tenth

After protecting Givani Smith in the expansion draft and signing him to a two-year extension in the off-season, it’s clear that Steve Yzerman and the Detroit Red Wings believe there is a possible future for him in the organization. This season, there’s a chance his future with the team is solidified – if he takes some major
