A sure sign you’ve found a better road is when the potholes are actually unexpected. Or in the case of the Red Wings this season, when a loss at home comes as system shock. That was the case Tuesday night, when Jeff Blashill’s team came out flat-footed against the Nashville Predators at Little Caesars Arena

Detroit — Pius Suter made his NHL debut last season as an undrafted player with the Chicago Blackhawks. It wasn’t an easy transition. Starting over with the Red Wings hasn’t seemed to be a big adjustment for Suter. He carries a six-game point streak into Thursday’s game against the St. Louis Blues. “I was kind of

Detroit — Sometimes you have to give credit to the opponent, and that might’ve been the case Tuesday for the Red Wings. The Nashville Predators, despite missing some key regulars in the lineup and beginning a long stretch on the road, played a physically tough road game and defeated the Wings 5-2. Nashville limited the Wings to 16  shots

Detroit — Let’s turn back the clock to two years ago, and recall where the Red Wings’ status. They had just lost to Pittsburgh, 5-3, and had fallen to a record of 7-21-3, an ugly .258 win percentage. The Wings were the last place team in the NHL standings as well as many team statistical categories. It was

Detroit — Being put in COVID-19 protocol the day before Thanksgiving pretty much made the holiday a dud for defenseman Danny DeKeyser. “Brutal timing,” said DeKeyser after Monday’s practice. “I didn’t really get to do anything. I did get a little bit of turkey and potatoes.” DeKeyser missed five games but will return to the lineup

Detroit —  Moritz Seider tested some new skates Saturday morning and liked how they felt. So the rookie wore them for that night’s game against the New York Islanders. “I just tried them out and they felt pretty good, so I was feeling it a little bit,” said Seider, who whirled around the ice in

Detroit — The Red Wings’ rookies keep making an impact – and the team keeps winning. Defenseman Moritz Seider scored his third goal of the season – and second overtime game-winner Saturday – leading the Wings to a 4-3 victory over the New York Islanders. Seider’s one-timer from the left dot at 3 minutes, 33

Detroit — Defenseman Nick Leddy sounded as if he wanted to push the clock closer to game time. Talking after Saturday’s morning skate, Leddy couldn’t wait to face his old teammates on the New York Islanders and the puck drop at 7 p.m. “A lot of excitement,” said Leddy, who spent the last seven seasons

Detroit — Joe Veleno will be returning to the Red Wings’ lineup Saturday and getting a good opportunity. After missing the last three games with an undisclosed injury, Veleno skated on a line with Pius Suter and FIlip Zadina during Friday’s practice.

Detroit — The first time coach Jeff Blashill saw the promise on the ice was in an exhibition game against the Chicago Blackhawks. The Red Wings were playing Chicago at Little Caesars Arena on Oct. 4. Rookie forward Lucas Raymond was matched against an NHL-caliber roster, which you don’t normally see during exhibition games. Facing that lineup,

He was Detroit’s Jean Beliveau, a graceful playmaking center and longtime captain who assisted on more of Gordie Howe’s regular-season and playoff goals (231 assists) than any other player in Red Wings’ history.

Detroit — The Red Wings keep piling up victories at a rate probably nobody expected. They capped off an impressive back-to-back set Wednesday, defeating the expansion Seattle Kraken, 4-3 in a shootout.

Detroit — The Red Wings placed forward Tyler Bertuzzi — the only unvaccinated player in the NHL against the coronavirus — on COVID-19 protocol list Wednesday. Bertuzzi was not in the lineup against the Seattle Kraken, and his return to the lineup is uncertain. Bertuzzi must now go through a sequence of protocols and tests, with daily testing.

Detroit — In the span of a little more than a week, the Red Wings finally found a recipe to have success on the road. The Wings have had two four-game trips, each lasting over a week, and combined to go 1-6-1 in those games. It certainly didn’t look promising for them playing Tuesday in Boston, a

Boston — As good as the Red Wings have been at Little Caesars Arena, it’s been a different story on the road. But Tuesday night, the Wings got a little something going away from home. Playing a patient and disciplined road game, and getting continued top-notch goaltending from Alex Nedeljkovic, who tied a career-high with

Boston — As good as the Red Wings have been at Little Caesars Arena, it’s been a different story on the road. But Tuesday night, the Wings got a little something going away from home, as well.

Boston — COVID-19 continues to plague the NHL, as it is the world at large. The NHL sent a memo to all 32 teams Monday effectively canceling all holiday parties, in addition to public engagements, charity events and autograph sessions.
