Detroit — Michael Rasmussen was playing well and the Red Wings were right there in the playoff chase. Then just like that, it all came to a halt. Suddenly, shockingly, after taking a slap shot to his kneecap by Tampa Bay’s Zach Bogosian, Rasmussen was done for the season and the Wings, ultimately, were too.

Associated Press Tampere, Finland — Red Wings prospect Carter Mazur scored the winning goal as the United States maintained a perfect record at the ice hockey world championship by beating Austria, 4-1, on Wednesday for a fourth straight victory in the group stage. Lane Hutson and Nick Perbix contributed a goal and an assist each

Detroit — Maybe this is a sign of things to come for Lucas Raymond. The Red Wings forward took a minor step back in his development this past season, seeing his offensive production slide while adjusting to playing under a new coaching staff. Raymond acknowledged the difficulties and was already looking forward to next season

Detroit — The sights were something to see, no doubt. But it’s the sounds of spring that we’re really missing these days in Detroit. And the calendar is full of reminders. Take May 16, for example. This is the anniversary of that anxious evening back in 1996 when Steve Yzerman nearly blew the roof off

Detroit — The Red Wings still don’t know where their second first-round pick will be in the NHL Entry Draft. They’ll pick either 17th or 18th, depending on how the Florida Panthers’ playoff series against Toronto goes — which, in the large scale of things, isn’t a huge difference. The pick was obtained from Vancouver

Detroit — The Red Wings know where they’ll select in the NHL Entry Draft — and it won’t be first. That was determined Monday, much to the disappointment of Detroit fans as the Wings stayed in the ninth spot — where they were slotted before the draft lottery — and didn’t move up in the

Detroit — There’s an interesting list of Red Wings players who will begin competing for their countries at this week’s men’s International Ice Hockey Federation world championships. Lucas Raymond, Moritz Seider — who is a late addition to Germany’s roster — along with Olli Maatta, coach Derek Lalonde on Team USA’s coaching staff, Carter Mazur.

Ted Kulfan takes a look at the Red Wings staying put with the ninth overall pick in the NHL Draft Lottery and USA Hockey’s Trey Augustine is the interview guest. “It would’ve been quite the stroke of luck for the Red Wings to get into the top three picks,” Kulfan said on the podcast. “We’ve

Detroit — The Red Wings are likely getting used to this. The NHL Draft Lottery took place Monday and the Wings stayed where they were, coming out with the ninth overall selection in this year’s Entry Draft June 28 in Nashville. There were no surprises for the Wings. The Wings had the ninth-best odds going

USA Hockey’s national goaltending coach Dave Lassonde calls it “winning time.” His prized pupil, Trey Augustine, says they’re “game-defining moments.” Augustine, an 18-year-old South Lyon native who will play goal for Michigan State’s hockey team in the fall, faced one of those moments in the final seconds of the third period in the gold-medal game

Stan Aldridge, “Mr. A,” owned Indianwood in Lake Orion and the Lakewood Shores resort in Oscoda. He was inducted into the Michigan Golf Hall of Fame in 2005. Stan Aldridge took a shot at the Detroit Red Wings, before he took a big swing at the golf business. He ended up coming up aces. Aldridge,

Detroit — The NHL draft lottery hasn’t been kind to the Red Wings. But there’s another chance Monday to change years of disappointment — although the odds again are against it happening. This year’s draft lottery takes place at the NHL Networks studio in Secaucus, New Jersey (8 p.m./ESPN). The Wings have two first-round picks

Detroit — Petr Klima, one of the most popular players in his era with the Red Wings, died unexpectedly in his native Czechia Thursday at the age of 58. News reports out of Czechia, and confirmed by the Czech Ice Hockey Federation, say Klima was found in his home in Chomutov, with no further details.

Detroit — There’s been much talk since the regular season ended about how the Red Wings need to be a tougher team to play against. One young player who feels he can do more in that area, along with other parts of the game, is Joe Veleno. The Wings’ 2018 first-round draft pick (30th overall)

Detroit — There’s a lot of different terms for it in hockey. You can call it “bite,” or “edge,” or “sandpaper,” or simple abrasiveness or playing with some snarl. It goes by a variety of names, and you notice it when you see it on the ice. Fight if you must, sure, but it’s not

Detroit — The Red Wings might be missing a key defenseman early next season. The Wings announced Tuesday that Simon Edvinsson underwent successful surgery on his left shoulder on Monday. Recovery time is expected to be four to six months, which means Edvinsson could be ready to take the ice anywhere from September to November.

Detroit — Give Jake Walman all the credit. Walman was still recovering from offseason shoulder surgery when the Red Wings began this season, and the way the defense was constructed, there sure didn’t seem like much of a chance for Walman to skate himself into ample playing time. There were a lot of veterans ahead

Detroit — The Red Wings are going to play two games in Europe next season. The NHL announced Wednesday it’s sending four teams to Stockholm, Sweden — the Red Wings,  Minnesota Wild, Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators — to stage the Global Series games November 16-19. The Wings will play Ottawa on November 16,

Detroit — The bus ride from Toledo to Indianapolis was about three hours Monday, which for Sebastian Cossa was a breeze. Cossa played junior hockey in the Western Hockey League and 10-hour bus rides were common. Now, that’s a road trip. “You get to catch up on your sleep,” Cossa said. “Play cards, watch some

Detroit — It wasn’t necessarily a sophomore slump, or some sort of second-year jinx that afflicted forward Lucas Raymond. Most second-year players would love to have a season that Raymond had scoring 17 goals with 45 points, all while missing eight games due to injury. It was a good season by Raymond; he remained an
