Detroit — Lucas Raymond is making it difficult for the Red Wings to keep him off the opening-night roster next week. The rookie continued his torrid pace Monday in the exhibition season with a goal and assist — and many more good plays — in the Wings’ 6-4 loss to Chicago. The Wings scored all four
The Detroit Red Wings did something they’ve rarely done in the past couple seasons: Look dangerous on the power play. Their Monday contest against the Chicago Blackhawks at Little Caesars Arena was only an exhibition game, but for a team looking for confidence, seeing the puck go in three times was a good boost.

There’s no shortage of praise for Detroit Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman and what he has been able to do at the NHL Draft. He’s made some huge steals and moves that upset the expert rankings. In the 2021 offseason, he took Sebastian Cossa of the Edmonton Oil Kings 15th overall instead of Jesper
Detroit — Tyler Bertuzzi wasn’t in the Red Wings’ lineup for Monday’s exhibition game against the Chicago Blackhawks, and it’s unclear whether he’ll play in any of the three remaining exhibition games. Returning from back surgery, which essentially cost him all of last season, it would be good to have Bertuzzi play a warm-up game or two. But the
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, Kyle Knopp, and Jeff Middleton are the muckers who make up
Alex Nedeljkovic’s numbers after two preseason appearances aren’t great, but there’s no concern he won’t be at his best when it counts. Nedeljkovic gave up four goals on 23 shots as the Detroit Red Wings lost, 5-1, Sunday afternoon to the Pittsburgh Penguins at PPG Paints Arena, their first loss in four exhibition games. Nedeljkovic,
The Red Wings aren’t going to win every exhibition game this preseason after all. Pittsburgh made sure of that with a 5-1 victory Sunday over the Wings at PPG Paints Arena, ending the Wings’ three-game win streak. Pius Suter (power play) scored on a two-man advantage at 15:46 of the first period. Otherwise it was the Penguins
One of the talking points at the Detroit Red Wings‘ training camp is that this is as competitive as they have looked for several years. General manager Steve Yzerman has, in a little more than two years, put his mark on almost the whole team: He has either acquired (via trade, free agency or draft), re-signed every player — or, in
Detroit — Dylan Larkin made his return to the Red Wings lineup Saturday a successful one. Playing in his first game since April 20, when he took a crosscheck to the neck area, Larkin had two power-play goals and an assist leading the Wings to a 5-1 exhibition victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets. Larkin referenced Will Ferrell’s
Dylan Larkin made a welcome return to the Detroit Red Wings‘ lineup and a new addition made sure the score added up to another victory. Only so much should be read into exhibition games — they’re an evaluation tool as much as anything — but the Wings are finding ways to score, and that’s a good

As the Detroit Red Wings advance through the exhibition season, one of the key issues is sorting out the power-play units. Saturday’s game against the Columbus Blue Jackets is one of six remaining before the regular season, and the first of a back-to-back-to-back. The Wings had four power plays in Thursday’s 6-2 victory over the
Detroit native Jalen Smereck said he was “really angry, disappointed” with the Ukrainian Hockey League’s 13-game suspension and a fine to Andrei Denyskin for a racist gesture towards Smereck in a UHL game between HC Kremenchuk and HC Donbass on Sunday. In an interview with TSN Canada on Thursday, the 24-year-old former defenseman with the
Detroit — Red Wings defenseman Nick Leddy remembers coming through the Chicago Blackhawks’ organization and soaking in the knowledge Duncan Keith would share. “Looking up to Duncan Keith and all the stuff he’s taught me over the years,” Leddy said Friday. “It was an older team when I got to Chicago, and looking up to all those
There is some skill waiting in the Wings. Not enough yet, obviously, and it’s fair to wonder whether any of these timelines will overlap in a way that produces a legitimate playoff team at some point. But at least there’s something worth watching now. And maybe even cheering, as a few thousand fans did Thursday
On Thursday, the Detroit Red Wings announced that forward Jakub Vrana will undergo shoulder surgery and miss the next four months. *Insert Pete Campbell “Not Great Bob” gif* With Vrana out until at least February, the Red Wings will need to find a way to compete without him. Luckily, they have some options, though none
Apple Podcasts | Spotify Oh, you want goals? You want to see some offense? Well, the Detroit Red Wings showed plenty of their scoring touch Thursday night in their exhibition home opener, a 6-2 over the Buffalo Sabres before their largest crowd in 18 months at Little Caesars Arena.

Detroit — The Red Wings want Lucas Raymond to be noticeable, make an impact, and be one of the best players on the ice when he is playing these exhibition games. If Raymond does that, he’ll be on the opening-night roster. One game in, Raymond was very noticeable. Raymond scored a goal in his exhibition season debut,
