This weekend marks Dylan Larkin’s third appearance representing the Detroit Red Wings at the All-Star Game. It shouldn’t be his last one. Larkin is in the final year of a five-year contract signed before the 2018-19 season, with unrestricted free agency on the horizon. It’s the type of situation that begets uncertainty as the trade

Bobby Hull is remembered as a legendary goal scorer, but there was one Detroit Red Wings player — and not one of the famous ones — who took great delight in thwarting him. Hull, who died Monday at 84 years old, was one of the most renown and feared scorers in the NHL in the 1960s. Hull,

Steve Yzerman had just walked by in the visitors’ dressing room at UBS Arena when David Perron brought up the Detroit Red Wings general manager. “We have to get our rest, get refocused, get reenergized to come back for a big push before the deadline,” Perron said, “and give Steve something to think about.” Perron

ELMONT, N.Y. — The Detroit Red Wings ended their dads trip and entered their week off unable to take advantage of a team that has been crumbling. There wasn’t much energy to Friday’s outing against the New York Islanders — the Wings’ third game in four nights and second of a back-to-back — with fathers

MONTREAL — Chants of “Let’s go, Red Wings,” came from just outside the visitors locker room at Bell Centre, where happy dads celebrated a good start to their trip. The Detroit Red Wings won a second straight game, the first step to doing what they have talked about so much over the past month: Go

MONTREAL — For all they did to make their dads cheer, the Detroit Red Wings made it difficult on themselves. It began well enough Thursday at Centre Bell when the Wings built an early lead on the Montreal Canadiens, but neither the first nor the second nor the third one built much momentum. It wasn’t

MONTREAL — Even as they enjoy a family side of their job, the business side lingers for Detroit Red Wings forwards Dylan Larkin and Tyler Bertuzzi. Each had their dads along for the quick trip that segued from Thursday’s outing at the Montreal Canadiens to Friday’s at the New York Islanders. The other men playing

Kevin Larkin took in the Detroit Red Wings’ optional practice seated next to his son, Dylan, in the stands at Little Caesars Arena, happy to be back on a fathers trip. Larkin’s dad was among the most experienced participants as the Wings renewed a tradition that had been annual until the coronavirus pandemic disrupted everything.

Maybe this was never going to be the season the Detroit Red Wings reached the NHL playoffs and ended a postseason drought going on seven seasons. There was hope, of course, with new coach Derek Lalonde and his mandate to improve the risk in the team’s game. There’s certainly evidence, if you look hard enough,

Derek Lalonde didn’t want to waste throwing a fit, and as it turned out, he ended up singing Michael Rasmussen’s praises. The Detroit Red Wings head off on a quick little trip before the All-Star break feeling good about themselves after celebrating a 3-2 overtime victory over the San Jose Sharks Tuesday at Little Caesars

Two leads dissipated as the Detroit Red Wings attempted to leave a favorable impression on their last home game for two weeks. The San Jose Sharks came into Little Caesars Arena on Tuesday with a record that put them among the bottom five teams in the NHL, but they engaged the Wings in a tight

A new puppy and a new stick has Filip Zadina feeling confident as he nears a comeback with the Detroit Red Wings. He got the four-legged friend, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, in early November, right around the same time he suffered a lower-body injury that left him feeling as deflated physically as he did mentally.

That run the Detroit Red Wings keep talking about has yet to materialize, but at least a break is on the near horizon. They have three games left before the All-Star break offers the chance to rest and reset. The San Jose Sharks visit Little Caesars Arena on Tuesday, and then the Wings pack their

This figures to be an exceptionally busy time for Detroit Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman. He just wrapped up five days of meetings with his inner circle during a stay in Las Vegas. The March 3 trade deadline is six weeks away, and the past stretch has exposed how much the needle still has

The first game back home after a trip West is a challenge: The travel plus the time-zone change makes for a grind. There wasn’t much going for the Detroit Red Wings or the Philadelphia Flyers early on Saturday, with the sides playing an uneventful game over the first two periods at Little Caesars Arena. There

For a change, the Detroit Red Wings don’t anticipate Tyler Bertuzzi missing much time. Bertuzzi is dealing with a lower-body injury that forced him to miss leave the last game early. He was scratched Saturday against the Philadelphia Flyers, but could be available again as soon as next week. “This is a true day-to-day,” coach

LAS VEGAS — The Detroit Red Wings headed out to dinner, their appetites stoked by a satisfying victory. The kind of puck management that coach Derek Lalonde has stressed since training camp was key to beating the Vegas Golden Knights, 3-2, Thursday, enabling the Wings to feel good on their scheduled flight home Friday. They

LAS VEGAS — For the third time this season, the Detroit Red Wings are waiting to hear word on forward Tyler Bertuzzi. He missed the third period of Thursday’s 3-2 victory at the Vegas Golden Knights with what the team said was a lower-body injury. There was no further update immediately following the game. The

LAS VEGAS — For the second time in a week — and after three disappointments — the Detroit Red Wings showed how well things end when they manage the puck and maintain discipline. They broke even on this trip and bred confidence into their second half with a 3-2 victory Thursday over the Vegas Golden Knights, a team

LAS VEGAS — From a betting standpoint, odds are good Alex Nedeljkovic will re-appear soon in a Detroit Red Wings uniform — and Jakub Vrana appears to at last be improving his odds, too. The Wings’ front office, led by general manager Steve Yzerman, was at T-Mobile Arena on Thursday to take in the team’s last
