With the NHL Lottery less than a week away, the Detroit Red Wings are sitting pretty knowing that the Capitals pick is a heckuva lot better with their early entrance. But that doesn’t console Wings fans (yours truly, too) aggravated that Detroit has a 53.7% chance of falling again in the draft. Fair? Nope. But

Detroit — Early in any conversation you get the sense Jimmy Howard is happy, content and greatly enjoying retirement. Howard, 37, was an unrestricted free agent last summer but was not brought back by the Red Wings, and he didn’t have his heart set on playing anywhere else. As the pandemic raged on and the NHL season

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

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 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
