When the Detroit Red Wings called up Marco Kasper from the American Hockey League (AHL) back in October, it meant that they were committing to the idea of having three scoring lines instead of just two. Since then, the Red Wings’ lineup has featured offensive lines centered by Kasper, Dylan Larkin, and J.T. Compher. The

Over the years, many people (Detroit Red Wings fans in particular) have said Sergei Fedorov‘s number 91 should be hung in the rafters at Little Caesars Arena and retired. With the recent jersey retirements of both Jaromir Jagr and Chris Chelios by the Pittsburgh Penguins and Chicago Blackhawks, respectively, it has further proved that it

Since being drafted sixth overall back in the 2021 NHL Draft, Simon Edvinsson has been penciled in as the Detroit Red Wings’ second defender of the future on the depth chart behind Moritz Seider by many fans. However, patience would be necessary as he spent another full season in the SHL and two full years

We’ve reached the point where the Detroit Red Wings might need to consider a coaching change.  Detroit’s effort and structure have been inconsistent. Their five-on-five offense leaves much to be desired. The same goes for the penalty kill. And there have been too many unforced errors in all three zones. In fact, the only constant

After 11 games, the Detroit Red Wings are 5-5-1. This isn’t the start they wanted, but it could have been a lot worse. Now, after a few days off, they’re ready to go. Since Saturday’s game against the Buffalo Sabres, I’ve been jotting down notes on the team – some good, some bad. Overall, there’s

It wasn’t all that long ago that the Buffalo Sabres were riding high on a three-game winning streak, ironically after having defeated the Detroit Red Wings they were about to face on Saturday (Nov. 2). Fast forward three games and that streak is now of the losing variety. Losing to
