The Detroit Red Wings and New York Islanders locked horns for the first of two meetings over the next four days. It was a goaltender battle between Alex Lyon and Ilya Sorokin, with both netminders being the highlight for their team in a low-scoring affair. By the night’s end, the Red Wings pulled off a

Since it’s been all doom and gloom for the Detroit Red Wings lately, I wanted to take a different approach. A positive approach. Make no mistake, if the goal is incremental progress, then this year’s team is falling short. I don’t think it’s too late to turn things around, though. To that point, let’s discuss

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

With Thanksgiving coming up and December right around the corner, I wanted to take a look ahead to the biggest hockey event of the coming months, the World Junior Championship (WJC). The 2025 WJC is set to begin on December 26 in Ottawa, Canada, but most participating nations begin their training/selection camps early in December.

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
