Detroit — The Red Wings placed defenseman Danny DeKeyser into COVID-19 protocol Wednesday, before they faced the St. Louis Blues.

Playing on the eve of Thanksgiving has been a tradition for the Detroit Red Wings since the franchise’s first year in the NHL. Then known as the Detroit Cougars, they hosted the Chicago Black Hawks — the spelling was changed to Blackhawks in 1986 — on Nov. 24, 1926, and won, 1-0. Back then, the holiday was proclaimed

Detroit — There was an expectation this season the Red Wings would have more depth in their scoring, especially from what appeared to be a potentially dangerous second line. But the line of Pius Suter centering Robby Fabbri and Filip Zadina has struggled to consistently provide offense. The line has been relatively cold lately, with Suter not putting
One of the best things about going through a rebuild is seeing the team’s prospect pool get filled up. Like watching an actual pool get filled up, it gets you excited knowing that as it gets deeper and deeper, fun times lay ahead. For the Detroit Red Wings, their pool is already getting to a
Detroit — If you blink, you may have missed it. The NHL is a quarter of the way through its schedule, most teams right around the 20-game mark. It’s never too early to formulate opinions of how the league is shaping up. The schedule has been fast and furious. The Red Wings played 20 games
The Detroit Red Wings are beginning to emerge from a deep rebuild, and with any luck, will be back in playoff contention within the next few years. Longtime fans can still easily recall the team’s heartbreak prior to its 1997 Stanley Cup championship, not to mention the sustained excellence of the organization from its first
Dana Gauruder | Special to Detroit Free Press Robby Fabbri can’t pinpoint the reason for the lack of production from the Detroit Red Wings‘ second line this season. Fabbri believes he and linemates Filip Zadina and Pius Suter have done everything necessary to be a dangerous combination. It hasn’t shown up on the stat sheet.
Detroit — After two full years, Robby Fabbri finally gets to play against his old team. Fabbri was traded from the St. Louis Blues to the Red Wings on Nov. 6, 2019. By this time, normally, would have faced his former squad at least a time or two. The pandemic changed things. The first year Fabbri was with the Wings,
When the trade for Alex Nedeljkovic was announced, the chatter around Detroit wasn’t about how he could form a solid tandem with incumbent goaltender Thomas Greiss. No, the conversation immediately jumped to how “Ned” could be the Red Wings’ starter during the 2021-22 season and well into the future. After watching Greiss, Jonathan Bernier and
In typical Mark Howe fashion, his recent retirement announcement was almost an afterthought and done as quietly and under the radar as the way the 66-year-old former defenseman with the Detroit Red Wings conducted himself during a 48-year career in professional hockey. This past summer, Howe walked into Steve Yzerman’s office and told the Red
Detroit — How good has Dylan Larkin been offensively this season? To put it in perspective, Larkin’s goal Saturday in Arizona was his ninth of the season. Last season — and, yes, there were variables such as a shortened NHL season because of the pandemic and Larkin’s injury late in the season that forced him to miss games — he scored all
What’s The Grind Line? Apart from the once-famous line of Kris Draper, Kirk Maltby, and either Joe Kocur or Darren McCarty, The Grind Line is also The Hockey Writers’ weekly column about the Detroit Red Wings. This week Tony Wolak, Devin Little, Patrick Brown, and Kyle Knopp are the muckers who make up THW’s forechecking unit and sound off on
The first quarter of the 2021-22 NHL season has shown the promising and the prosaic from the Detroit Red Wings. There have been times they’ve shown how good they can — such as their road game against the Washington Capitals on Oct. 27 and their home game against the Edmonton Oilers on Nov. 9. But they
Brett Hull was known for his shot and his boisterous personality, and his tenure with the Detroit Red Wings made him a natural to be in the spotlight for the third annual Jamie Daniels Foundation roast. The reason behind the celebrity roast, which will be telecast at 8 p.m. Monday on Bally Sports Detroit, is
Glendale, Ariz. — The Red Wings reached the 20-game mark Saturday, essentially the quarter-pole of the NHL schedule. It’s been a sprint of a schedule, with little time for practice, and the Wings have been hurt by of it lately. After a promising start, the Wings have slipped. Saturday’s 2-1 overtime loss in Arizona — the NHL’s
If you are disappointed that Filip Zadina hasn’t been producing, how do you think he feels? This is a player who is always enthusiastic when he scores, and is always visibly frustrated when he blows a quality opportunity. This isn’t a matter of not caring, it’s a matter of psyche at this point. Maybe it’s
GLENDALE, Ariz. — The Detroit Red Wings opted to stay on the road one more night rather than endure a red-eye flight, but there’s no doubt they need the respite of coming home. They capped an unsuccessful trip with an overtime loss to the worst team in the NHL, falling 2-1 to the Arizona Coyotes on
