Detroit — Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin’s impressive season has earned him a trip to the NHL All-Star Game. Larkin was part of the Atlantic Division roster, revealed Thursday on ESPN. This will be Larkin’s second All-Star Game appearance. In 2016, Larkin participated in the fastest skater competition during All-Star weekend, and had a time of 13.172

Detroit — Are the Red Wings best served playing Michael Rasmussen at center, or wing? Chances are, playing the 6-foot-6 Rasmussen in the middle anchoring defensive-minded lines is where the Wings see Rasmussen long term, and at his most effective. But Rasmussen has played wing in his career, also, including several games in the last week.

Detroit — The Red Wings needed, and wanted, more in terms of success on this road trip through California. With that dream of a wild-card playoff spot gradually slipping away, the Wings needed more than the two of a possible six points out of the three games in Los Angeles, Anaheim and San Jose. Tuesday’s 3-2 overtime

This road trip ended up in weird fashion for the Red Wings on Tuesday — and a loss. Logan Couture scored one minute into overtime for San Jose, with an octopus that a fan threw onto the ice laying by the boards, giving the Sharks a 3-2 overtime win over the Wings. Officials also took

The Red Wings are an improved hockey team over the last several seasons. You can see that by watching them or just glance at the standings. But don’t expect general manager Steve Yzerman to attempt to accelerate the rebuild with a flurry trades or free-agent signings. Yzerman expects to stay the course, no matter where the

The Red Wings are adding one of the best defenseman to ever play to the front office. General manager and executive vice president Steve Yzerman announced Tuesday that the Wings have hired Nicklas Lidstrom as vice president of hockey operations. Lidstrom, 51, will be involved in all aspects of hockey operations for the Red Wings

Rookie forward Lucas Raymond has hit a goal-scoring lull. But he remains productive in other departments. Raymond has eight assists in the last 10 games, he’s still playing well defensively and his confidence isn’t wavering. As coach Jeff Blashill sees it, Raymond isn’t in any sort of slump. “I haven’t seen a dropoff in his play,” Blashill

This was a good bounce back game for the Red Wings, but it ended up one point short of what they would have preferred. Detroit took the host Anaheim Ducks to a shootout Sunday, before the home team earned the 4-3 victory. The Ducks won the shootout 2-0, with Trevor Zegras and Rickard Rakell scoring against

Red Wings center Dylan Larkin was knocked out of Sunday’s game in Anaheim against the Ducks in the first period. Larkin suffered an upper-body injury just over 8 minutes into the first period.

The premier rookie talent in the NHL shared the same sheet of the ice Sunday at Anaheim’s Honda Center. Red Wings teammates Lucas Raymond and Moritz Seider, who have had a major hand in turning Detroit into a competitive team, were opposite Ducks forward Trevor Zegras for the first time. Zegras has helped make the Ducks a

Detroit — Sure there were a few butterflies Saturday afternoon, looking ahead to the evening’s Red Wings’ game, but Daniella Bruce wasn’t worried about it. Bruce made history Saturday evening, becoming the first woman to be on any Wings’ broadcast, being Ken Kal’s color analyst. Paul Woods was not available either Saturday or Sunday because of COVID-19. “I

Good for you if you didn’t stay up to watch the Red Wings. You didn’t miss a darn thing. Playing in Los Angeles Saturday, the Wings never really got started and wound up losing 4-0 in a game that was one-sided from the start. The Kings outshot the Wings by a staggering 27-2 margin in the

What was supposed to be a typical road trip to the West Coast has taken a turn for the Red Wings. Thursday’s COVID-19 postponement in Anaheim has forced the Wings into playing three games in four nights around California. They’ll play Saturday in Los Angeles, then 21.5 hours later, they’ll  head south to face the Ducks in the rescheduled game.

When Filip Zadina was told he’d be a healthy scratch Tuesday, he reacted the way you’d expect any player who was told he wasn’t going to play would. “I was disappointed for sure,” said Zadina after Thursday’s morning skate in Anaheim, for a game that was postponed. Due to COVID-19 issues surrounding the Ducks, the game

Detroit — The Red Wings have had another game called off. Their game at Anaheim on Thursday night has been postponed due to COVID-related issues affecting the Ducks. The one positive for the Wings is it won’t take long to make this one up. The game has been rescheduled for Sunday, at Honda Center. The Wings are

For a guy who’d felt tortured by puck luck for much of this NHL season, this probably seemed like cruel and unusual punishment. Filip Zadina was a spectator Tuesday night, just like the rest of us, watching the Red Wings’ slumbering offense come to life. Even while shorthanded, sparked by a major penalty and aided
