Detroit — All three are forwards, all have been impactful on and off the ice — and all three might have played their last games for the Detroit Red Wings. There are many items on general manager Steve Yzerman’s to-do list this summer, many personnel decisions to be made, including determining the futures of Darren Helm, Valtteri Filppula
The pressure Detroit Red Wings goalie Jonathan Bernier faced came from all angles. Pressure as in opposing skaters taking advantage of underdeveloped defensemen, peppering shot attempt after shot attempt after shot attempt. Take the April 24 start against the Dallas Stars, for example. At the 11:55 mark of the second period, the Stars held a
Editor’s note: This is the fourth in a series of profiles of the top prospects for the NHL Draft on July 23-24, 2021. Historically, the Detroit Red Wings haven’t had much success with first-round draft picks from the Western Hockey League. Since the first NHL amateur draft in 1963, Detroit has selected more players from
Germany beats Canada , the score 3-1.One of Germany’s biggest factors wears #53 and was given some extra attention in the post-game analysis by SVT. #LGRW pic.twitter.com/6IVla413t3 — IcehockeyGifs (@IcehockeyG) May 24, 2021 Some nice highlights of Seider’s play in yesterday’s win against Canada.

The Red Wings were one of the oldest teams in the NHL this year. As the prospects slowly churn through the pipeline, Steve Yzerman has filled the current roster with older NHL veterans to guide the process. Let’s take a look at how a few of those vets turned out this year. Danny DeKeyser 2021
Any Detroit Red Wings fan watching the Edmonton Oilers game Sunday night felt that feeling before. The same fan knows it all too well because the glaring holes were not patched appropriately by the man running the team. That person of course being Ken Holland. Trending on social media was a photo of Holland following
Detroit — Jared McIsaac admits there were some difficult days. How could there not have been for the young defenseman, who turns 21 Thursday, a Red Wings’ 2018 second-round draft pick, who had to endure back-to-back shoulder surgeries (one on each shoulder)? Then, just to accentuate the frustration, he sprained an AC joint in his shoulder
The Boston Bruins potentially have helped the Detroit Red Wings’ rebuild. The Bruins eliminated the Washington Capitals Sunday, ousting them from the first round in five games. The Wings hold the Capitals’ first-round pick in the 2021 draft from the Anthony Mantha trade, and that little nugget just got a bit shinier. The first 16 draft
I haven’t had a chance to watch this, but let us know what you think if you do. Trevor Moore, United States author convincing victory over Canada at world championships Trevor Moore scored twice in the second period and the United States bounced back from an opening-game loss in a big way on Sunday, defeating
I moved to Detroit in 1999 and I started working at the Free Press that August, when the paper’s office was located on Fort Street, just a few blocks from our current offices. I was a copy editor in the sports department, where we did the exciting work of journalism in a large, gray, windowless
Save for the massive Anthony Mantha trade at the trade deadline, 2021 was a relatively forgettable season for the Detroit Red Wings. A rebuilding team with plenty of talent just outside of the NHL. Let’s refresh our memory and take a look at a few of the players fans will be hard-pressed to remember a
Detroit — Danny DeKeyser knew this might be a rocky season — and he was right. The veteran Red Wings’ defenseman was returning to the lineup after having back surgery in December 2019. He played eight games early in the 2019-20 regular season, and with that season called off early due to the coronavirus, and the 2020-21
The Detroit Red Wings gorged on defense during the final six weeks of the 2020-21 season. But there were some early-season stretches, caused by injuries, COVID-19 concerns, underachieving veterans (Anthony Mantha) and underperforming prospects (Mathias Brome …) that made the opening two months tough to digest at times. While even elite teams endure a few
It’s a tired subject – the Detroit Red Wings missed out on the playoffs yet again. We’ve already talked about players that have been traded this season, but what about those ghosts of previous Red Wings seasons who were once beloved in Hockeytown but have since moved on to greener pastures? There are still a
Obviously it’s very unlikely that any current Red Wing will come close to one of these numbers, but who do you think from the Red Wings current roster will finish his career with the most post season games (for Detroit)? They said it: Brind’Amour, Aho, Lajoie on preparing for Game 4 – Canes Country On
The Detroit Red Wings haven’t had a defensive prospect this exciting in ages. Moritz Seider checks every box: Skill, size, physicality, personality. There’s been so much buzz about him that even those who’ve never seen him are intrigued. “I don’t know him at all,” Wings defenseman Marc Staal said last week during his exit interview
The future is brighter for the Detroit Red Wings as Michael Rasmussen, and Filip Zadina took massive steps forward in their development. Joe Veleno got a chance in Detroit near the end while Givani Smith built his early season successes into more ice time late in the year. Here’s a look at how the potential
Though there weren’t any games played, the Detroit Red Wings still had their fair share of news. Head coach Jeff Blashill was awarded an extension, which according to TSN’s Pierre LeBrun, is a two-year deal. The deal was met with mixed reviews by Red Wings fans but the one move that wasn’t debated was the departure
Another year, another missed opportunity for the Detroit Red Wings to compete in the NHL playoffs. That’s five years, for those keeping a scorecard. Another rebuilding year, another season of unwatchable breakouts and poorly executed entries. But for those keeping score, there were fewer and while the 2020-21 offense struggled and the power play was
This summer, Steve Yzerman and the Detroit Red Wings have several restricted free agents (RFAs) in need of new contracts, including Filip Hronek, Tyler Bertuzzi, and newly acquired Jakub Vrana. When negotiating new deals, Yzerman and each player’s representation will need to consider a handful of variables. Talking points go beyond counting stats and comparables
