Detroit — Dylan Larkin, as expected, is staying with the Red Wings. Larkin, the Wings’ captain, and the Wings agreed Wednesday to an-eight year contract extension worth $69.6 million ($8.7 million salary cap hit). Larkin, 26, could have been one of the more highly sought-after unrestricted free agents on the market this summer. But, given

Kanata, Ontario — What do you do now if you’re Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman? The Wings appeared squarely in a race for a wild-card playoff spot in the Eastern Conference heading into Ottawa, and with a definite chance to build that momentum. Two convincing losses later, capped by an ugly 6-1 loss Tuesday,

Kanata, Ontario − The Red Wings will want to forget about this little series in Ottawa. The Wings’ chase for the playoffs hit a roadblock in Canada’s capital city, with the Senators completing a sweep of the two-game, back-to-back series Tuesday 6-1. The Wings (28-24-8, 64 points) dropped their third consecutive game and failed to

Kanata, Ontario — When the Red Wings acquired defenseman Jake Walman from St. Louis last season, he was considered a project who had yet to find his way in the NHL. Things have changed in almost a year. Walman and the Wings on Tuesday signed a three-year contract extension for $10.2 million ($3.4 million cap

Kanata, Ontario – This felt like a playoff game, with the accompanying emotion in the building and bad blood on the ice. The Red Wings and Ottawa Senators, two long rebuilding teams aiming to finally make the playoffs, got a taste of what it would be like Monday at Canadian Tire Centre. From the Wings’

Kanata, Ontario — The most popular player in the Red Wings’ locker room Monday after the morning skate was Magnus Hellberg. The talkative goaltender always tends to draw a crowd, but Hellberg was returning to Ottawa after playing with the Senators earlier this season before being waived. Hellberg also was scheduled to get the start

Detroit — The Red Wings will not have forward Michael Rasmussen for the foreseeable future. Exactly how long is yet to be determined, but doesn’t sound soon. Coach Derek Lalonde confirmed Sunday Rasmussen is out “indefinitely,” without giving a general timeframe. Lalonde said the Wings might know more about Rasmussen’s situation in a matter of

Detroit – The Red Wings’ surge up the standings hit a roadblock Saturday named Andrei Vasilevskiy. The Tampa Bay goalie played up to this usual All-World status Saturday leading the Lightning past the Red Wings 3-0. Vasilevskiy made 45 saves (the Wings outshot Tampa 45-18), was absolutely brilliant during stretches, and slowed down the red-hot

Detroit – Lucas Raymond had never missed an NHL game until not dressing for the Feb. 11 game against Vancouver. Raymond collided with Ben Chiarot during practice the day before and hasn’t been available since with a lower-body injury, ending a streak of 132 consecutive games played. Raymond has been sitting and watching games from

Detroit – As the games go by, you keep sensing something is brewing with the Red Wings. The wins keep piling up, the confidence is growing and who knows where this will ultimately end up? The Wings kept rolling Thursday, never mind returning from a lengthy road trip, or playing an elite New York Rangers

Detroit — The ice storm that pounded the region impacted the Red Wings on Thursday morning. The Wings canceled their morning skate Thursday, ahead of tonight’s game against the New York Rangers (7 p.m., BSD/The Ticket). The Wings had an official day off Wednesday, returning from a five-city, nine-day road trip in which they went

Detroit — It used to be pretty darn busy around here this time of year, in case you forgot. The Red Wings and Pistons were preparing for long playoff runs, the Tigers were stocking optimism and beer for opening day, and the Lions were debating which unfortunate soul to draft in the top 10. Anyone

Detroit — The day off Wednesday was well earned and needed for the Red Wings. Since flying to Vancouver on Feb. 12, they’ve been on an odyssey of five cities and games over nine days. It was a grueling trip, in some hostile and normally difficult arenas to win. All the Wings did, though, was

Washington, D.C. − The Red Wings had to win Tuesday without captain Dylan Larkin for much of the game as it turns out. Larkin was issued a major cross-checking penalty and a game misconduct for cross-checking Washington’s T.J. Oshie near the throat area at 15 minutes 57 seconds of the first period. Ultimately, it didn’t

Washington, D.C. — Jakub Vrana is back in the Red Wings lineup. Vrana will replace Filip Zadina in the Wings’ lineup Tuesday against Washington — the team that shipped Vrana to the Red Wings for Anthony Mantha at the April 2021 trade deadline. This will be Vrana’s first game back in Washington since the trade

Detroit — Simon Edvinsson knows he wasn’t good enough during training camp in September to make the Red Wings. In Edvinsson’s estimation, it’s simple. “If I had (had) a real good training camp, I would be up there right now,” Edvinsson told The Detroit News. True enough. Edvinsson wasn’t quite good enough, not game to

Ted Kulfan previews the Red Wings’ final game of a successful five-game road trip in Washington and Sweden’s top NHL prospect Leo Carlsson is the interview guest. Detroit heads into Tuesday’s wild-card showdown at Capital One Arena three points behind the Penguins and Islanders for the final playoff position and one point behind the Capitals,

Washington, D.C. – Sure enough, Jakub Vrana had never been in the visitor’s locker room at Capital One Arena before Monday’s Red Wings’ practice. Vrana played the first five seasons of his career in Washington and never ventured down the hallway. “Never,” said Vrana after Monday’s practice. “This is the first time. I’ve never been
