Detroit — After two full years, Robby Fabbri finally gets to play against his old team. Fabbri was traded from the St. Louis Blues to the Red Wings on Nov. 6, 2019. By this time, normally, would have faced his former squad at least a time or two. The pandemic changed things. The first year Fabbri was with the Wings,
When the trade for Alex Nedeljkovic was announced, the chatter around Detroit wasn’t about how he could form a solid tandem with incumbent goaltender Thomas Greiss. No, the conversation immediately jumped to how “Ned” could be the Red Wings’ starter during the 2021-22 season and well into the future. After watching Greiss, Jonathan Bernier and
In typical Mark Howe fashion, his recent retirement announcement was almost an afterthought and done as quietly and under the radar as the way the 66-year-old former defenseman with the Detroit Red Wings conducted himself during a 48-year career in professional hockey. This past summer, Howe walked into Steve Yzerman’s office and told the Red
The trade deadline will take place March 21, 2022, but that’s never stopped Steve Yzerman from acting early. In the past, he’s pulled the trigger on a variety of players, flipping everyone from Patrik Nemeth to Jacob de la Rose to bolster the roster. These efforts, so far, have managed to pay off. Whether it’s
A friend Ian sent this in from a buddy of theirs who worked at the Joe during the 98-99 season. Best we can figure this was March 26th against Tampa.

Fan expectations for Filip Zadina have been pretty high since he slipped to the Detroit Red Wings in the 2018 NHL Draft. Zadina has yet to have a breakout season – could 2021 be the year? “Snakebitten” was the word used to describe Zadina last season. Even the best of scoring chances seemed to miss
After a fun start to the season, the Detroit Red Wings fell back to reality last week, losing four straight road games and dropping below .500 a quarter of the way through the season. In that rough outing, the shortcomings off this year’s squad were on display. Defense First, the defense this year has been
Detroit — How good has Dylan Larkin been offensively this season? To put it in perspective, Larkin’s goal Saturday in Arizona was his ninth of the season. Last season — and, yes, there were variables such as a shortened NHL season because of the pandemic and Larkin’s injury late in the season that forced him to miss games — he scored all
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, and Kyle Knopp are the muckers who make up THW’s forechecking unit and sound off on

The first quarter of the 2021-22 NHL season has shown the promising and the prosaic from the Detroit Red Wings. There have been times they’ve shown how good they can — such as their road game against the Washington Capitals on Oct. 27 and their home game against the Edmonton Oilers on Nov. 9. But they
The Grand Rapids Griffins played three hard games, and all games went into OT, with the Griffins winning one of three. They opened the week with a 2-1 OT loss in their home matinee game with the Chicago Wolves. On the weekend, the Griffins split their games in Texas with a 5-4 OT win on
Brett Hull was known for his shot and his boisterous personality, and his tenure with the Detroit Red Wings made him a natural to be in the spotlight for the third annual Jamie Daniels Foundation roast. The reason behind the celebrity roast, which will be telecast at 8 p.m. Monday on Bally Sports Detroit, is
Glendale, Ariz. — The Red Wings reached the 20-game mark Saturday, essentially the quarter-pole of the NHL schedule. It’s been a sprint of a schedule, with little time for practice, and the Wings have been hurt by of it lately. After a promising start, the Wings have slipped. Saturday’s 2-1 overtime loss in Arizona — the NHL’s
If you are disappointed that Filip Zadina hasn’t been producing, how do you think he feels? This is a player who is always enthusiastic when he scores, and is always visibly frustrated when he blows a quality opportunity. This isn’t a matter of not caring, it’s a matter of psyche at this point. Maybe it’s
Lucas Raymond has brought mature, complete game to Red Wings – Detroit News “He creates chances without giving much. He’s been efficient that way, and I don’t see a reason he can’t continue it,” Blashill said. I just want to take an opportunity to stop and smell the roses that both Raymond and Seider stepped
GLENDALE, Ariz. — The Detroit Red Wings opted to stay on the road one more night rather than endure a red-eye flight, but there’s no doubt they need the respite of coming home. They capped an unsuccessful trip with an overtime loss to the worst team in the NHL, falling 2-1 to the Arizona Coyotes on
Normally it’s eight observations following a Detroit Red Wings game. Instead, I’m going to just go for one. Lucas Raymond two handed his stick on the net following Detroit’s 2-1 loss Saturday evening. And that, right there, underscored the feeling of many in the fan base. And then there was this: The Red Wings outshot
