Detroit — Darren Helm has been a Red Wings player for a long time. Helm began his career here in 2007-08 and was part of that season’s Stanley Cup-winning team. He’s been one of the better defensive forwards in the NHL for many years. But in a matter of days, Helm’s career with the Wings could

The Detroit Red Wings are taking advantage of having access to the COVID-19 vaccine. The pandemic ripped through the locker room on opening weekend, forcing five players into quarantine. One spent training camp dealing with it — and that’s left him leaning toward postponing getting the vaccine until after the season ends. The majority of
April 6 has had its fair share of historical moments throughout the decades. One of the National Hockey League’s biggest legends scored his final goal in his last regular-season game.

Detroit — Three of the Red Wings who have been noticeable on the ice over the last week have something in common. In a league where speed has become valued and has largely taken over, big bodies can still be effective and dictate a game in their own way. Michael Rasmussen (age 21, 6-foot-6, 229 pounds), Givani

Raleigh — More than two months later, Petr Mrazek still has his edge. Mrazek made 28 saves in his first game back after a lengthy absence as the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Dallas Stars 1-0 on Sunday night. “It felt good to be back,” Mrazek said. “It has been a long journey.” Mrazek, who notched his
One save can make a difference in a game, and that was the case in Sunday’s 5-1 Red Wings’ victory over the Lightning. The Wings were leading 1-0 midway in the second period when goaltender Thomas Greiss turned aside Tampa star Steven Stamkos on a three-on-one Lightning rush. Several minutes later, Valtteri Filppula scored and began
It took a while, 10 years actually, but the Red Wings did it. They actually won a regular-season game Sunday in Tampa, ending a 17-game losing streak dating back to Feb. 17, 2011, defeating the Lightning, 5-1. That might not be the most shocking aspect of all. Not the victory itself, but how dominant the Wings

The Detroit Red Wings came away with two points and a boost to their confidence from weekend games against the defending Stanley Cup champions.

During his second trade deadline as a general manager, Steve Yzerman engineered a transaction that netted his team a franchise goaltender. That was in 2012, when Yzerman was in his second year in charge of the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Lightning had superstars in Steven Stamkos and Victor Hedman when Yzerman took over in May
The Detroit Red Wings had no answer Saturday for Tampa Bay Lightning goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy. Tampa gave itself a cushion early, then skated to a 2-1 victory over the Red Wings.

The Detroit Red Wings played well defensively but their inability to score cost them against the defending Stanley Cup champions. They gave up two early goals, then made things interesting in the third period of their Saturday matinee against the Tampa Bay Lightning at Amalie Arena. The Wings wound up with a 2-1 loss that left them
Detroit – The plan, at least early in the season, from coach Jeff Blashill to Adam Erne was direct and probably did not instill confidence. There would be no role on either specialty team, at least to start. You can expect to play in the bottom six forwards, and probably won’t get a ton of

As the Detroit Red Wings round into the home stretch of another disappointing season, two big, young players inject hope into the future.
