There weren’t a lot of pretty moments in the Detroit Red Wings’ 6-1 loss Saturday night. What started out as an early lead on a Dylan Larkin power play goal devolved into a nightmarish goal scoring spree from Montreal, a team who had only scored four goals in five games. The Habs scored six against

The Detroit Red Wings had a great chance to seize some early season momentum in the front end of a back-to-back slate against two struggling teams. Detroit faced off against Montreal first, a team that the Red Wings have owned for quite some time. Unfortunately for Detroit, their return to Montreal would be a horror

The Detroit Red Wings travel to Montreal to play the Canadiens tonight at the Bell Centre in Montreal, QC.  Game time for the Canadian nationally televised game is 7:00 PM ET.

Even during a 3-0 loss, the Detroit Red Wings still provided moments within the game to entertain the fan base–something missing over the last few seasons. Whether it’s a Moritz Seider hit on Milan Lucic, or Givani Smith tussling with the same Lucic, the action combined with tracking the progress of Steve Yzerman’s acquisitions and

Last season, the Detroit Red Wings power play was dreadful, but thanks to some new faces behind the bench and in the locker room, the unit has already seen plenty of growth. In 2020-21, Detroit’s 11.4 percent success rate on the man advantage was the second worst in the league (behind the Anaheim Ducks, who

The Detroit Red Wings remain undefeated in regulation time (2-0-1) after a 4-1 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday night at LCA in Detroit, MI. The Red Wings dominated the game throughout and if it wasn’t for Blue Jackets goalie Joonas Korpisalo, the game would have been even more lopsided. Here are eight

Detroit Red Wings forward Tyler Bertuzzi sure lives up to the lyrics of a chant for Ted Lasso character Roy Kent, the prickly but lovable soccer player. In his prime, and to the very end of his illustrious (and fictional) career, fans would serenade him using his name with this: He’s here. He’s there. He’s every bleeping
