Detroit — The Red Wings close out the home portion of their regular-season schedule Saturday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. It’s likely not the way they envisioned it happening. In the Wings’ wildest dreams, there would be more home games coming up soon with playoff contests. But the reality of no playoffs was pretty much cemented about

C More’s Staffan Kronwall on Detroit & Albert Johansson: “They break down his every game, every shift and provide feedback to him. They very much have their eyes on him.” Adds that he sees a lot of improvement in Albert’s game from last year’s playoffs to this year’s. #LGRW pic.twitter.com/EHyyIgNG2y — IcehockeyGifs (@IcehockeyG) April 20,
The Detroit Red Wings superstar, Lucas Raymond, is in the final stretch of his first season in the NHL. After being drafted in the 2020 NHL entry draft, and making his debut in the 2021-22 NHL season, he has really made his impact on this team. I mean I don’t foresee anyone being able to
SUNRISE, Fla. — Playing at home has been a balm for the Detroit Red Wings, and that gives Saturday’s finale at Little Caesars Arena extra meaning. Their matinee against the Pittsburgh Penguins poses as another measuring stick in what has been a stretch of measuring-stick games. Over the past 10 days, the Wings (30-38-10) have beaten
The NHL playoffs begin May 2 and there appears to be one certainty. Whichever team gets the pleasure of facing the Florida Panthers is going to have a difficult time winning four of seven games in a series. It’s simply not going to be easy. The Red Wings saw first-hand how formidable the Eastern Conference-leading
SUNRISE, Fla. — The Detroit Red Wings gave themselves a shot, but the Florida Panthers showed why they’re the ones chasing the Presidents’ Trophy. They scored three times in 10 minutes Thursday at FLA Live Arena and the best the Wings could do was keep it close for two periods. They wound up losing, 5-2. Sam
Oh look, it’s the Red Wings playing the best team in hockey on ESPN+. Again. Very frequently this season, we’ve seen Red Wings vs Panthers on national TV and every time, the win has gone to the Panthers. Most recently, the Panthers destroyed the Wings 6-1 just four days prior thanks to an explosive four-goal
This late in the season, it’s becoming clearer that defenseman Moritz Seider appears to be a slam-dunk choice to win the Calder Trophy. Given to the NHL’s rookie of the year, Seider has gradually pulled away with his stellar play. But teammate Lucas Raymond shouldn’t be easily forgotten. The rookie forward will almost certainly be

Considering that they currently average 3.79 goals-against per game, it makes sense that the Detroit Red Wings brought it upon themselves to take a look at their goaltending situation. What maybe doesn’t make as much sense is how they went about addressing it. With just a month left in the season, Red Wings general manager
In 2013-14, Roger Rönnberg set out to change @frolunda_hc forever, despite the program having a rich history. His goal was individual development, working hard and growing together, with winning a part of that growth. Now, Frölunda is stronger than ever. https://t.co/JBNLHd3JSV — The Coaches Site (@TheCoachesSite) April 20, 2022 For Elmer Söderblom, things started to
SUNRISE, Fla. — Jakub Vrana is coming through. He recorded his fourth two-goal performance this week, and did it playing the two-way game that wins. The Detroit Red Wings, trying to finish another playoff-less season on a positive, have had Vrana on their payroll for more than a year but they’ve been limited in what they’ve seen: He
After a pair of embarrassing loses over the Easter weekend, the Red Wings really needed a bounce back game to get them back on track to close out the season strong. With the news of Dylan Larkin out injured for the remainder of the season, and playing the Tampa Bay Lightning, the odds were not
