Detroit — Time goes by fast. It’s nearly four years since the Wings stunned the NHL in Vancouver by selecting Moritz Seider sixth overall in the 2019 Entry Draft. It was a surprising pick in that Seider was expected to go somewhere in the teens. Some analysts felt the Wings may have reached a bit

Detroit Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde made his debut on Tuesday as an NHL guest analyst during Sportsnet’s Stanley Cup playoff coverage in Toronto. Lalonde’s first appearance was in the first intermission of Game 1 of the Toronto Maple Leafs-Tampa Bay Lightning series at Scotiabank Arena. He was on the TV set along with Sportsnet

Detroit — The Red Wings aren’t in the playoffs this spring, and that’s usually the bottom line in pro sports. But captain Dylan Larkin feels like the Wings are pointing toward that milestone. “This thing is headed in the right direction,” said Larkin, the Wings’ captain, addressing the media Tuesday in a season-ending press conference.

Detroit — The Red Wings’ goal isn’t just to be playing games that matter next April. It’s to be playing them in May as well. So for Ville Husso, the goal this summer is to be ready for more. More games. More pressure. More responsibility. “Next year, everybody needs to step up a little more,”

Detroit — The Red Wings organization will be looking for a new head coach for minor league affiliate Grand Rapids. The Wings announced they will not be renewing the contract of Ben Simon, who was head coach of the Griffins for the last five seasons. Grand Rapids missed the American League playoffs the last two

Ted Kulfan talks about the Red Wings’ season-ending news conferences with general manager Steve Yzerman and coach Derek Lalonde and William and Shawn Horcoff are the interview guests. Kulfan said the team’s season was a “step forward” despite missing the playoffs for a seventh consecutive season, tying the franchise’s longest playoff drought from 1970-77. “Points

William Horcoff’s first hockey equipment didn’t exactly fit. Now 16 years old and already 6-foot-4 and 168 pounds following an 80-goal season in 80 games with the No. 1-ranked Little Caesars U15 team, Horcoff was learning how to play the game in 2012. “We were in Edmonton and it was my first year buying him his first

[embedded content] Detroit – Honesty isn’t always the best policy in professional sports. But it is right now for Steve Yzerman, even if it makes him sound a bit sheepish, at times, as a general manager. Because when you’re on the outside looking in at the playoffs, as the Red Wings are again for a

Detroit − Four years into his tenure as general manager of the Red Wings, Steve Yzerman sees progress. The Wings won more games this season, improved statistically in the major categories, and were in the playoff chase for longer than they’ve been in recent seasons. But the Wings, obviously, aren’t quite where Yzerman wants them

Detroit — If the Red Wings had simply finished the season around mid-February, being above the playoff cutline and having games in hand, and playing good hockey in many areas, coach Derek Lalonde would have been just fine with it. “We’d probably be talking about me spending my coach of the year bonus already on

That’s it for another Red Wings hockey season. Game 82, the regular season finale, took place Thursday in Tampa Bay with the Wings falling to the Lightning 5-0. In a game befitting the regular season finale, with one team (the Wings) headed for the offseason and the other (Tampa) headed to the first-round of the

There were specific areas coach Derek Lalonde wanted to see the Red Wings improve upon during his first season with the team. For the most part, the Wings did get better in some important departments as the season came to a close Thursday in Tampa. The Wings will not be involved in the NHL playoffs

Detroit — The big news coming out of the Red Wings organization Wednesday didn’t necessarily come out of the NHL team, which closes out its season Thursday in Tampa. The interesting piece of news came out of minor-league affiliate Grand Rapids, where the Griffins announced defenseman (and Griffins captain) Brian Lashoff will be retiring at

Only one more game, three periods of hockey left. That’s a good thing. Because it appears the Red Wings are sputtering, chugging, limping, all of it, to the finish line. With a depleted lineup Tuesday, the Red Wings traveled to Carolina and lost to the Metropolitan Division leading Hurricanes 4-1. That’s four straight losses for

Detroit — Goaltender Ville Husso was arguably the Red Wings’ most valuable player for the first half of this season. As the Wings approach the final few days of the season, Husso isn’t playing at the same level. Monday’s 6-1 loss against Dallas was the latest disappointment, with Husso only lasting 12 minutes before being

Detroit – That’s a wrap on the Red Wings’ season at Little Caesars Arena, and considering the outcome, maybe it’s best there’s no more games until September. The home finale was rough. The Wings closed out the home portion of their schedule Monday with a 6-1 loss against Dallas. “Pretty much right from the beginning,”

Detroit — Just returning from knee surgery once can be a long, painful and frustrating process for any athlete. Forward Robby Fabbri has done it. And not just once. But, remarkably, three times, including when Fabbri returned to the lineup on January 4 after tearing his right ACL in March 2022. The Detroit chapter of

Detroit — Pius Suter had to laugh little bit recently when asked about the differences of playing center or wing. Suter, at first, explained the different nuances of the positions, the responsibilities involved. But then, Suter had to stop and smile. “It’s not like it’s rocket science,” Suter said. For Suter, being a versatile player

Detroit – This will be different for forward David Perron after the Red Wings’ season concludes Thursday in Tampa. Normally, Perron would begin mentally transitioning to the playoffs. Teams Perron has played for have been in the playoffs seven consecutive years, and 10 years overall. Perron has become accustomed to playing playoff hockey. ‘But when

Detroit — Star players usually shine at the biggest games, and Pittsburgh’s Sidney Crosby certainly did that Saturday for his team. Crosby had two goals and an assist leading the Penguins, who are clawing to get into the playoffs this final week, past the Red Wings 5-1 at Little Caesars Arena. With the three points,
