The program
Ted Kulfan | The Detroit News Detroit — Filip Zadina isn’t producing points the way he or the Red Wings would necessarily like. But the way Zadina is playing all over the ice, specifically on the defensive end, makes the lesser amount of offense more palatable. The maturation of Zadina is continuing, and thus far, this
Helene St. James | Detroit Free Press Filip Zadina is mature enough to understand the need for patience, but that doesn’t mean he likes it. He’s one of the primary players the Detroit Red Wings count on for production, but 11 games in, he only has one goal and three assists. When the Wings host

Ted Kulfan | The Detroit News Detroit – Not surprisingly, the Red Wings weren’t very good on the power play Wednesday against Chicago. And, not surprisingly, it cost them another game. But it wasn’t just the power play, alone. The Wings struggled for any kind of offense, losing 2-0 to the surprising Blackhawks. Chicago’s Philipp Kurashev scored
Helene St. James | Detroit Free Press The Detroit Red Wings played another close game, benefitting from outstanding goaltending by Jonathan Bernier.

Ted Kulfan | The Detroit News Detroit — Sam Gagner played his youth hockey for the Toronto Marlboros and cherished every aspect of it. So when an opportunity to get involved and give back to the organization presented itself recently, Gagner jumped at the chance. Gagner and fellow Marlboro alumni John Tavares (Toronto Maple Leafs) are in the
Helene St. James| Detroit Free Press Sam Gagner has known the expectations of being a high-round draft pick; he’s been traded half a dozen times, he’s been up and down and back around.

Ted Kulfan | The Detroit News Detroit — It’s never easy to come to a new hockey team, but it’s even more difficult when the goals and assists don’t happen right away. Vladislav Namestnikov was a forward the Red Wings felt could help in a variety of ways when they signed him as a free agent
Helene St. James | Detroit Free Press As much as the Detroit Red Wings have improved parts of their game, one component remains a mess. They’ve earned points in two straight games for the first time this season, but had to settle for a meager one when they lost in overtime, 3-2, Monday to the

Nolan Bianchi | The Detroit News It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish. Or so they say.
