Someday soon, Michigan hockey’s talented 2021-22 roster will migrate to the NHL, where the Wolverines will exchange their matching maize-and-blue sweaters for conflicting colors. They’ll get an early taste of that in February in the Beijing Olympics, as Team Canada became the latest squad to announce a team with a healthy Wolverine presence. On Tuesday,

Detroit — The last time Filip Zadina scored a goal, hockey fans had just finished downing their Thanksgiving turkey and were getting ready to buy presents for the holidays. It was Nov. 30, to be precise, against the Boston Bruins. Zadina hasn’t scored a goal in 17 games, and only four for the entire season. No Red
Landon Ferraro, who the Detroit Red Wings drafted instead of Ryan O’Reilly, was among 14 forwards named to represent Canada at the 2022 Olympic Winter Games in Beijing next month. Hockey Canada revealed its roster Tuesday. The NHL pulled out of attending in December because of the many games that at that time had to be
Entering the 2021-22 season, the Detroit Red Wings had one of the deepest prospect pools across the NHL. Led by Moritz Seider and Lucas Raymond, their pool consisted of high-end prospects at almost every position, and plenty of depth to go around (especially on the blue line.) Since our last update in August, a funny
He is surrounded by people who want him to succeed, who try to stoke the embers of his confidence. For all the encouraging story lines to come out of the first half of the season for the Detroit Red Wings, they need Filip Zadina to make himself part of the second-half headlines. Former first-round picks
Detroit — If Sam Gagner were to recommend a younger hockey player one NHL player to watch, Gagner picks an interesting choice. Tyler Bertuzzi, not exactly a player many would think. But given Gagner’s reasons, you realize why, and it has merit. “He’s all over the puck, he hounds it, and when he gets it, he
To extract the good from the weekend, the Detroit Red Wings played physical and were in position to win.To distill the results, they only managed one point out of four available and their power play let them down. The Wings have time to practice before their next game, Wednesday at Little Caesars Arena against the
Detroit — It wasn’t a complete lost weekend for the Red Wings. They did earn one point in Friday’s overtime loss to Dallas. But then again, it was only the one point they earned, out of a possible four, when you add Saturday’s loss in Nashville. So, it wasn’t great, by any standard. And, if anything,
The most encouraging development to emerge from the first half of the Detroit Red Wings’ season is how well general manager Steve Yzerman’s draft picks have performed. Moritz Seider and Lucas Raymond have strengthened the foundation of the rebuild, infusing skill and swagger into the lineup. In less than three years, Yzerman has shaped the
If this weekend was any sort of measuring stick, playing against two tough, playoff-caliber teams, the Red Wings came up a little bit short. Saturday it was the Nashville Predators who withstood a good Wings road game, and defeated the Red Wings 4-1 at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena. “We fought hard, played a physical game, we matched
For all the good the Detroit Red Wings did Saturday, their ineffective power play undermined their hard work. The Wings had six minutes with an extra skater during the first 22 minutes against the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena and came away with nothing — and at the end of the night, they came away with no points,
This was one of those plays that Jeff Blashill admitted you can’t coach, had nothing to do team systems, it was just about the player. Dylan Larkin’s goal in the second period, going coast to coast, was one of those highlight reel type of plays that will be highlighted on telecasts for weeks to come.
Jan. 22 is a very eventful date in the history of the National Hockey League. It has given us everything from big personal milestones, great goaltending, and even a pair of games played under very odd circumstances. Let’s buckle in for our daily trip through time and look back at the best this date has
The Detroit Red Wings showed growth, but not enough to get them the result that was there for the taking. The Wings don’t deflate when opponents score any more, but Friday’s 5-4 overtime loss to the Dallas Stars at Little Caesars Arena rankled because the Wings had the lead with six minutes to play. Robby
When the Detroit Red Wings opened the season with two hyped rookies — Lucas Raymond and Moritz Seider — on the roster, they knew the two were good. But good enough for one to win the Calder Trophy (awarded annually to the league’s top rookie)? “He always looked like a good player, then I saw him
Detroit — These are the types of games the Red Wings are still learning to finish, grab the victory, and move on to the next game. They proved Friday they’re still grasping how to do those things, and it cost them a point in the standings. Dallas tied the game late in regulation, then won
The Detroit Red Wings showed their next-shift mentality, responding right away as their opponent tried to grab momentum. Dylan Larkin grabbed the spotlight with a go-ahead goal Friday at Little Caesars Arena and Tyler Bertuzzi capped a three-point night with a power play goal, but the Wings had to settle for one point when they
Detroit — The Red Wings head into the second half of the season on a bit of a downer. Dallas tied the game late in regulation, then won it overtime on Roope Hintz’s power-play goal, giving the Stars a 5-4 overtime victory. Hintz was alone in front of goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic and tapped in Joe
Luke Glendening has gotten used to seeing more green, but seeing red still makes his heart swell. The former Detroit Red Wings forward and alternate captain had lots of ticket requests ahead of his Friday appearance at Little Caesars Arena. He already had faced the Wings earlier in the season, but that was in Dallas.
