Alex Nedeljkovic circled the date as soon as the schedule came out, but he may need to redo his calendar. The Detroit Red Wings await word on whether it’s game on with the Carolina Hurricanes next on the slate, because the Hurricanes — Nedeljkovic’s former team — had their Tuesday game postponed when four players

Alex Nedeljkovic came through with a big performance to secure home fans cheered loudest and last. The Detroit Red Wings had looked forward to Tuesday’s game, looked forward to playing at Little Caesars Arena again after a tough road trip. They needed patience, and they needed Nedeljkovic to make 33 saves against the New York

Detroit Red Wings forward Robby Fabbri celebrated by FaceTiming with his parents and enjoying a nice glass of wine over dinner with his fiancée. It wasn’t his first contract, but it was a nice piece of job security. Fabbri’s new three-year, $12-million extension runs through 2024-25; the $4 million annual average value bumps him from the

Detroit Red Wings forward Robby Fabbri, a former first-round pick who general manager Steve Yzerman acquired for almost nothing, has received an extension through 2024-25. The team announced Monday evening that Fabbri had been signed to a three-year deal with an average annual value of $12 million. Fabbri, who turns 26 in January, was in

Saying that “it sucks missing games,” Tyler Bertuzzi remained unrepentant about his decision to forego the COVID-19 vaccine after enduring a bout with the virus. Bertuzzi emerged Monday from a 10-day quarantine, and said he stayed active by walking his dog to the park, and is expected to be in the Detroit Red Wings’ lineup

Tyler Bertuzzi is expected to be available for the Detroit Red Wings’ next game, rejoining his teammates after a stay in COVID-19 protocol. Getting back a top-line forward and power-play stalwart is welcome news to a team trying to overturn a three-game losing skid, but what would really help is if Bertuzzi looks more like his

The challenge right now for the Detroit Red Wings is to prove they are serious about the identity they want to establish. They’ve demonstrated their competitiveness when their plan begins with tight defense — but they’ve also faltered without said defense, especially on the road. It leaves them, once again, looking to the respite of

DENVER — The Detroit Red Wings endured a scare to one of their top players and suffered another lopsided loss on the road. Their attempt at a comeback Friday at Ball Arena was short-lived as the Colorado Avalanche unleashed a flurry that saw both Detroit goalies snowed under. The 7-3 loss dropped the Wings (13-12-3) to 4-9-1

Warren Mayes |  Associated Press ST. LOUIS — Nathan Walker scored his first career hat trick and fourth-string goaltender Charlie Lindgren made 29 saves, leading the St. Louis Blues to a 6-2 victory Thursday night over the Detroit Red Wings. The Blues recalled Walker from their AHL affiliate, the Springfield Thunderbirds, under emergency conditions Wednesday. The

There’s an old saying, maybe the oldest, in sports writing: No cheering in the press box. OK, maybe it’s not quite as old as editors screaming, “When are you gonna file that stupid thing?” Or writers asking, “Where’s the food?” But it’s old, nonetheless. There’s even a great classic book by Jerome Holtzman that borrows

Pius Suter plans to do a little reading on the Detroit Red Wings’ rivalry with the Colorado Avalanche, maybe on the plane ride to Denver. First, the Wings are challenged with improving their road record when they face the St. Louis Blues. There are the usual questions regarding who will be available — Filip Hronek did not

The Detroit Red Wings were left to admit they got schooled: Literally and numerically. Dylan Larkin couldn’t wait to get to St. Louis, because Thursday’s game against the Blues offers a chance to show the performance against the Nashville Predators was an aberration. “We’ve been playing good hockey, won five games in a row,” he said

The Detroit Red Wings didn’t come out like a team trying to keep a good thing rolling, delivering a first period as flat as it was forgettable. The resilient attitude that carried them the past two weeks wasn’t there Tuesday, and the result was a rare loss at Little Caesars Arena, 5-2, to the Nashville

Danny DeKeyser is ready to return, which is good news for the Detroit Red Wings given they have just lost one defenseman to injury and another to COVID-19 protocol. The Wings carry a five-game winning streak into Tuesday’s game against the Nashville Predators, which will be DeKeyser’s first appearance since he went into COVID-19 protocol on Thanksgiving

There’s a new person in charge of the fan experience at Little Caesars Arena and other Ilitch-owned properties. Chris McGowan comes to the area after nine years with the NBA’s Portland Trail Blazers. His official title is president and chief executive officer of Ilitch Sports + Entertainment (IS+E), the business division of the Detroit Red

There has been a recurring theme as the Detroit Red Wings have written themselves a five-game winning streak: Not pretty, but pretty enough. It’s been quite the transformation for the team that limped home from a winless four-game trip in mid-November, aching for confidence and reaching for the identity they remembered from training camp. They

The Detroit Red Wings didn’t want the struggling New York Islanders to gain traction on their visit to Little Caesars Arena. There was much to appreciate Saturday: Wings legend Alex Delvecchio was at the game to celebrate his 90th birthday; Tigers legend Lou Whitaker was there, too, and longtime anthem singer Karen Newman made her
