John Wawrow |  Associated Press Buffalo, N.Y. — Forward Taylor Hall hopes a fresh start with the Boston Bruins can boost his confidence after three dreadful months with the Buffalo Sabres.

Detroit — General manager Steve Yzerman went big in the final minutes of Monday’s NHL trade deadline. The Wings traded forward Anthony Mantha to the Washington Capitals for forwards Jakub Vrana and Richard Panik, a 2021 first-round pick and a 2022 second-round pick. The move sent shockwaves around the NHL during an otherwise uneventful finish to the trade deadline.

Everyone in the NHL knew this was a buyer’s market. And it has been a while since that could be considered good news for the Red Wings. But to Steve Yzerman’s credit, he wasn’t buying it. He still found a way to sell high amid a depressing year from one of his team’s biggest assets,

Entering Monday’s games, only three teams in the NHL own worse records than the Red Wings. But, as things come into focus following the trade deadline, there appears to be little doubt the Wings are one of the league’s biggest winners. General manager Steve Yzerman made a trio of smaller moves heading into Monday’s deadline, before

Detroit —  Don’t turn your head, stray too far from the screen, or you’re going to miss another Red Wings trade.

As it turned out the Red Wings had enough players Saturday to face the powerful Carolina Hurricanes, never mind all the rumors swirling around the trade deadline. And, yes, the Wings responded well after being embarrassed Thursday against Nashville. And they still had Adam Erne. The red-hot Erne scored a third-period goal, then scored the

Detroit — The Red Wings continue to make moves leading up to the trade deadline. But in this one, the Wings basically acted as middle man and earned a fourth-round pick this summer for their work. And their salary-cap case. Saturday, the Wings acquired defenseman David Savard from the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for

Detroit – So, the sell off begins for the Red Wings. The Wings began selling off some of their assets leading to Monday’s 3 p.m. (EST) trade deadline Friday night by dealing defenseman Patrik Nemeth to the Colorado Avalanche. The Wings received a 2022 fourth-round draft pick. The Wings also retained $1.5 million of Nemeth’s

Detroit — Few things in life excite NHL fans like the trade deadline. Maybe not as much these days, as the salary cap has put a crimp into just how much playoff contending teams can do and has definitely limited their options. But for fans of teams who are dreaming of the playoffs, Monday’s 3 p.m. trade

Detroit — Bobby Ryan’s season with the Red Wings appears to be over. Coach Jeff Blashill confirmed Friday that Ryan is getting a second opinion on an upper-body injury, with the expectation Ryan will need surgery. “We expect him to be done for the season,” Blashill said on Zoom call after Friday’s practice. Ryan has been

Detroit — The Red Wings have played better for several weeks now, since being routed in Nashville on March 25, exactly two weeks ago.

Detroit — They were separate incidents, although similar in nature, and both showed a positive development regarding this Red Wings team. There is a bond, a tightness, a willingness to stick up for a teammate. And in the world of professional hockey, that is something important.

Detroit — Sam Gagner’s future with the Red Wings is uncertain, especially with Monday’s trade deadline approaching. But Gagner, an unrestricted free agent in July, has made it known he would like to stay and contribute for one clear reason. “This team isn’t as far off as people might think,” Gagner said.

This has been a unique NHL season because of the pandemic. A shorter, compressed season with games being canceled and rosters being decimated because of positive virus cases. A division of all Canadian teams. So, it probably stands to reason that when it hits 3 p.m. (EST) on Monday and the trade deadline ends, it’s likely

Detroit – This Red Wings team didn’t look anything like the one that played Nashville last time. But it still wasn’t good enough against a red-hot Nashville team.
