Detroit — Sometimes games can be decided to the simplest level, and Saturday’s Red Wings game was one of those afternoons. Tampa defeated the Red Wings 2-1 in overtime on the strength of scoring two power-play goals. The Wings, on the other hand, didn’t score with the man advantage while having five attempts in the

Detroit — There were no brawls Saturday on the 25th anniversary of the greatest hockey brawl, but Red Wings fans still got some entertainment. Just not a victory. Brayden Point’s goal at 2 minutes 32 seconds of overtime gave Tampa Bay a 2-1 victory over the Red Wings. BOX SCORE: Lightning 2, Red Wings 1 (OT)

Detroit — Like everyone else that evening Jeff Blashill was watching. The Red Wings’ coach was hanging out with friends, watching his favorite team, the Red Wings, face the hated Colorado Avalanche on March 26, 1997. Blashill and other Wings fans had lived through so many playoff disappointments, watching Colorado win a Stanley Cup, and

Detroit — In a way, some of the younger Red Wings are heading into final exam time. There’s been a lot of lessons learned during the regular season, but now as they head into these final 18 games, it’s a good opportunity to show what they’ve learned. There won’t be any playoffs for the Red

All these years later, the epic “Fight Night at The Joe” has proven to be a modestly profitable enterprise for Darren McCarty and Claude Lemieux. McCarty, the Red Wings’ popular enforcer, and Lemieux, the Colorado Avalanche star scorer, will be together again Saturday night in Royal Oak, holding a 25th-anniversary watch party and fan question-and-answer session

Elmont, N.Y. — The Red Wings’ first trip into the sparking UBS Arena — and this place sure isn’t the relic that was Nassau Coliseum — wasn’t memorable. Allowing a goal on the first shift set a bad omen for Thursday’s evening, as the Red Wings lost 5-2 to the New York Islanders. Pius Suter (13th goal)

Elmont, N.Y. — The coincidence was incredible, and Red Wings forward Chase Pearson knew it right away. His dad Scott Pearson played 292 games over a 12-year NHL career that ended with two games played with the New York Islanders during the 1999-2000 season. On Thursday, at the Islanders’ new home at UBS Arena, Chase Pearson was

Detroit — Right after newest Red Wings forward Oskar Sundqvist talked to one legend, he was welcomed to the organization by another Hall of Famer. It’s been a hectic arrival for Sundqivist, who scored an empty-net goal and assisted on Tyler Bertuzzi’s empty-netter in Tuesday’s 6-3 victory over Philadelphia. But getting an opportunity to talk with

By Steve Kornacki |  Special to The Detroit News Detroit — Forward Oskar Sundqvist and defenseman Jake Walman, both of whom the Red Wings acquired Monday in a trade with the St. Louis Blues, were on the ice for a morning practice before Tuesday night’s game with the Philadelphia Flyers at Little Caesars Arena. Their heads were

Detroit — No surprises, no shockers, the Red Wings did what was expected in the final hours Monday as the NHL trade deadline closed. They dealt defensemen Nick Leddy and Luke Witkowski to the St. Louis Blues, in exchange for forward Oskar Sundqvist, defenseman Jake Walman and a 2023 second-round pick, and sent forward Vladislav Namestnikov to

Detroit — The Red Wings appear to be done at the trade deadline. They’ve dealt defensemen Nick Leddy and Luke Witkowski to the St. Louis Blues, in exchange for forward Oskar Sundqvist, defenseman Jake Walman and a 2023 second-round pick, and sent forward Vladislav Namestnikov to the Dallas Stars for a 2024 fourth-round pick. The Wings also retained 50% of

The Detroit Red Wings finally got their trade deadline activity underway, dealing defenseman Troy Stecher to the Los Angeles Kings on Sunday for a seventh-round pick in the 2022 draft, per an announcement from the team. Stecher, 27, is set to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season. He signed with the Red

Seattle — Talk about a disheartening one-two punch for the Red Wings. If Saturday’s disappointing 4-2 loss to the expansion Seattle Kraken wasn’t bad enough — and letting a 2-0 third period lead was ugly — then they had Monday’s trade deadline to look forward to. Or rather, not look forward. There was a good

Seattle — The long, long flight is going to feel a little longer. After almost nine days on the road and four games, the Red Wings went home Saturday with a disappointing 4-2 loss in Seattle. The expansion Kraken scored three third-period goals in just under six minutes to swipe the win. Yanni Gourde broke the

Seattle — Tyler Bertuzzi was away from hockey this week, but it was worth it. Bertuzzi and his fiancee Ashley Greasley welcomed baby Kinsley Lea into the world, which has brought about changes. “Very little sleep is the big one,” said Bertuzzi after Saturday’s morning skate, while admitting he’s still learning to master the whole diapers thing.

Seattle — Many NHL players will tell you they don’t check their phones and monitor the trade deadline up until Monday’s 3 p.m. deadline. But that likely is not totally true. Lives are uprooted and rosters are tweaked, as rumors continue to swirl until Monday’s finish line. The Red Wings have known too well, for the sixth consecutive season,
