Steve Yzerman didn’t get to see the team he thought he’d see this season. Then again, neither did you. Though you aren’t the one who had to decide whether to buy, sell or stand pat this week heading into today’s NHL trade deadline. Perhaps you wish you were. Maybe you’d have held on to Tyler

An emotional day segued into a challenging evening. The Detroit Red Wings played their first game Thursday since losing two teammates to trades, their fate once again to be sellers as another trade deadline rolls around. They chased and rallied against the Seattle Kraken before succumbing in overtime, 5-4. “All in all, a pretty good

Dylan Larkin let raw emotions show as he reviewed a 24-hour period that brought immense joy — and sadness. He was driving to Little Caesars Arena Thursday morning, the day after signing an eight-year, $69.6 million extension that likely means he will play his entire NHL career with the Detroit Red Wings, when his fiancée

General manager Steve Yzerman has seen his Detroit Red Wings show promise — and growing pains — over the past month. That he will be a seller again at Friday’s trade deadline was evident Wednesday, when Yzerman flipped defenseman Filip Hronek to the Vancouver Canucks for a conditional first-round and a second-round pick. The Wings

Detroit Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman showed his eye remains very much on the future of the rebuild and traded veteran defenseman Filip Hronek. The return from the Vancouver Canucks yielded at first-round pick and a second-round pick in the 2023 draft. The Canucks also got a 2023 fourth-round pick. Hronek, 25, had nine

Dylan Larkin’s importance to the Detroit Red Wings has been cemented with an extension that secures his services through the 2030-31 season and avoids any talk of unrestricted free agency. The 26-year-old forward signed an eight-year extension Wednesday, two days before the NHL trade deadline. It’s the maximum length possible for a team signing its

If that was the Detroit Red Wings’ version of playoff hockey, it doesn’t bode well for their wild-card chase. They were beaten up two straight nights by the Ottawa Senators., losing 6-1 Tuesday at Canadian Tire Centre after losing by a four-goal margin 24 hours earlier. The Wings came into the mini-series full of hope

When the Detroit Red Wings finally got him into the lineup on a regular basis, Jake Walman showed what a help he can be. It made sense, therefore, as the Wings announced Tuesday, to sign the 27-year-old defenseman to a three-year, $10.2 million extension; the $3.4 million annual average value fits in well with what

The Detroit Red Wings’ hunt for a playoff spot hit a rut in the first of back-to-back games against one of the other teams giving chase. The Wings made so many tracks to the visitors penalty box Monday at Canadian Tire Centre, there was little chance to make a game of it against the Ottawa

The consensus from the Detroit Red Wings was to move on from Saturday night’s 3-0 loss to Tampa Bay and eye the opportunity in Ottawa. They play a back-to-back there to open the week, adding a game Tuesday to the Monday one that was on the original schedule because a Dec. 23 contest was postponed

Detroit Red Wings forward Michael Rasmussen has been ruled out indefinitely with a lower-body injury. Rasmussen was injured in the first period Saturday, buckling in pain after getting hit in the kneecap by a puck fired by Tampa Bay’s Zach Bogosian, who has a heavy shot. Wings coach Derek Lalonde said Sunday the team should

Three years after being on the scrap heap of the NHL, the Detroit Red Wings have created an appealing quandary for their general manager. The NHL trade deadline is less than a week away, and the Wings are flirting with making the playoffs for the first time since 2016. They’re among a handful of teams

One of the Detroit Red Wings‘ top-six forwards has been lost to injury. Rasmussen was hit in the leg by a shot during the first period of Saturday’s contest against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Rasmussen limped off the ice and went straight to the locker room. Zach Bogosian has a heavy shot, and Rasmussen looked

The Detroit Red Wings‘ bid for a playoff spot was set back by one of the best goaltenders in the game. Andrei Vasilevskiy withstood a pounding Saturday at Little Caesars Arena, making 45 saves for the Tampa Bay Lightning to hand the Wings a 3-0 loss. “He was just remarkable,” Wings coach Derek Lalonde said.

Lucas Raymond took part in Friday’s practice, but his availability remains up in the air. Two weeks have passed since a lower-body injury sidelined the Detroit Red Wings’ top-line winger. Both he and coach Derek Lalonde expressed hope, but not certainty, that he might be ready to play Saturday, when the Wings host the Tampa

The Detroit Red Wings are playing their best hockey of the season. They won again Thursday night at Little Caesars Arena, blitzing the New York Rangers, 4-1. The Wings have won seven of eight and would be in the … ah, I’m not gonna say it. Let’s let Andrew Copp say it. He earned it

Andrew Copp brought it up after the Detroit Red Wings‘ latest victory. Their measure of swagger headed into their next game grew after they edged inside the playoff picture. “If everyone feels like they have a part of it, it makes it that much more special,” Copp said. “I think that’s been a key piece,

Ville Husso put on a persuasive performance as the Detroit Red Wings continued their push for a playoff spot. Helped by a productive night from their second line and a stellar one from their goaltender Thursday at Little Caesars Arena, the Wings took down one of the NHL’s better teams, beating the New York Rangers,

Lucas Raymond’s continued absence helped Filip Zadina return to the Detroit Red Wings’ lineup. “I really wanted to get Zadina back in,” coach Derek Lalonde said Thursday evening. “He played well previous to the scratch the other day.” The Wings’ didn’t have a morning skate, unusual after being off Wednesday, but blame that on a
