Stephen Whyno |  Associated Press The NHL on Monday unveiled a new logo for the Stanley Cup playoffs and Final that replaces the one used for the last 13 years. League officials said the process of designing the new logo and word mark began more than two years ago, before the start of the pandemic. It’ll

The Red Wings on Sunday claimed defenseman Olli Juolevi off waivers from the Florida Panthers and assigned forward Joe Veleno to the minor-league affiliate Grand Rapids Griffins. Juolevi, 23, has played in 10 games with the Panthers this season with no points, registering two penalty minutes and nine shots on goal in 12:27 average time on ice. Juolevi

Detroit — It was a quirk in the schedule — not often possible, but one that occurred and was expected to sting the Red Wings. And, it did. When the Wings began this last stretch of seven games, they were about to play seven of the top eight teams in the overall NHL standings. Since then, Minnesota has

The hockey season is over for the Michigan State Spartans after an 8-0 loss against the Michigan Wolverines in the Big Ten quarterfinals in front of 5,429 fans at Yost Arena in Ann Arbor on Saturday. Michigan (27-9-1) won the best-of-three series 2-0 to improve to 6-0 against MSU this year. Captain Nick Blankenburg was

You knew this might be an awfully difficult evening, and it certainly was for the Red Wings. On the back end of a two-game trip to Florida, against two great teams, the final game on a seven-game stretch against seven elite teams — well, it all culminated in a 6-2 Red Wings’ loss in Florida against

If a hockey team doesn’t shoot the puck, it obviously limits its chances of winning a game. Because, well, the puck never reaches the net in the first place to even have a chance of getting past the opposing goaltender. Pretty basic stuff. But so, so true. The Red Wings lost 3-1 Friday in Tampa

The Red Wings gave another Stanley Cup contender all sort of fits Friday, but this time came up short. The Wings went into Tampa Friday and lost 3-1 to the two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Lightning. Tampa defenseman Mikhail Sergachev, on the power play, scored his fourth goal of the season at 10:21 of the third

The NHL is creeping toward one of the biggest days on the calendar in the estimation of many fans — the trade deadline. This year, it’s March 21, as teams finalize their rosters for the stretch run, and playoffs, with teams that don’t have post-season hopes usually trading away veterans on expiring contracts in an

Detroit — All hockey teams aspire to have four competitive lines that can drive the play, have different strengths, and wear down opposing teams. The Red Wings are inching toward that sort of lineup. They had multiple lines score in Tuesday’s 4-3 overtime victory over Carolina — as they did in Saturday’s loss to Toronto — and appear

Detroit — Michael Rasmussen was a prolific goal scorer in junior hockey, as most NHL players were. Rasmussen has found the ability to score goals in the pros more difficult, as most probably expected it to be for the 6-foot-6, 210-pound forward who was a man among boys in junior, but struggled with the speed and

Detroit —  So Saturday you had a deluge of goals, little defense, and shoddy goaltending, all from both teams. And fans loved the craziness, all the goals. Tuesday, the Red Wings played more of a real hockey game, much less fireworks and big plays, but the result was likely fine with Wings’ fans — a 4-3 overtime victory

Chicago — The more Chicago Blackhawks CEO Danny Wirtz examined the possibilities for the team’s opening at general manager, the more he felt he had what he needed in his own organization — even with the club’s recent struggles. The Blackhawks hired Kyle Davidson on Tuesday, dropping his interim tag instead of going outside the floundering

Detroit — The Red Wings felt they had made progress in their defensive play last season. It was a shortened season, and they only played seven teams in the geography-based schedule, but based on the eye test, it was an accurate belief. The Wings were better defensively, and statistically it bore that out, showing the

Detroit — Lucas Raymond is going through his first season in the NHL, and judging from the statistics and eye test, doing quite well. But it also helps Raymond has a buddy who is doing the same thing. Rookie defenseman Moritz Seider is going through the exact same things. The fact Seider has been around — to vent,

Graham Dunbar |  Associated Press Geneva — International sports bodies moved to further isolate Russia on Monday for its invasion of Ukraine and pushed Moscow closer to becoming a pariah on the playing field. The International Olympic Committee urged sports bodies to exclude Russian athletes and officials from international events, including soccer’s World Cup. The IOC

Detroit — It would have been a remarkable comeback, one for the ages, but coach Jeff Blashill wasn’t fooled. Had the Red Wings come all the way back Saturday and somehow defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs — they lost 10-7, after entering the third period trailing 7-2 — it would have been a milestone game in the history
