Jakub Vrana’s season debut was lost in the ugliness that was Tuesday’s game against the Arizona Coyotes. Neither Alex Nedeljkovic nor Thomas

All the optimism the Detroit Red Wings instilled in the rebuild this season is on a precipice as they try to recover from their latest embarrassment. Thursday night against the Minnesota Wild can’t come soon enough — anything to erase the memory of being booed off the ice at Little Caesars Arena. The answer to what went
After an immensely disappointing loss to the Coyotes and a rather rocky season, what do things look like for head coach Jeff Blashill? When the second goaltender switch of the game happened, eyes turned to Blashill and his leadership behind the bench. This was the second time this season that he started a goalie, pulled
The Red Wings hosted the Arizona Coyotes at LCA on Tuesday evening in what was anticipated to be an easy matchup after coming back from a rough Florida road trip. Proving this false, the Coyotes took home a whopping 9-2 victory over Detroit- here are some of the key takeaways. 1. Lots of roster adjustments
