Detroit Red Wings veteran forward David Perron faces a potentially lengthy suspension for his vicious cross-check to the head of Ottawa’s Artem Zub. On Sunday, it was announced that Perron would be offered an in-person hearing from the NHL’s player safety department. That in-person hearing allows the league to suspend a player for over five

Rivalries are great for sports, but this one between the Detroit Red Wings and the Ottawa Senators is far from over and getting out of control. You know the recent history between these two teams. Things started to escalate last winter with the Detroit Red Wings making a last-ditch effort to qualify for the postseason

The Detroit Red Wings snapped back into shape a bit after their trip to Sweden. The caliber of play has improved a bit, and the Red Wings are seemingly starting to figure things out. They brought in Patrick Kane for a nice boost of offense. But they are getting a nice boost from within as

So, neither Ville Husso, James Reimer, or Alex Lyon has grabbed the opportunity to be the Detroit Red Wings’ No. 1 netminder. Why such concern, such hand-wringing? Because it’s NHL tradition. A true playoff team, a Stanley Cup contender, needs the stabilizing effect of an ironman in goal, right? Didn’t the Vegas Golden Knights, the

If there is anyone who won’t take a player’s paycheck into consideration to determine whether they should continue to play or not, it’s Detroit Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman. Now, Yzerman, by all accounts, provides Derek Lalonde with the pieces to the puzzle and then gets out of the way. Yzerman has stated in

It’s been quite some time since a large portion of the crowd at Little Caesars Arena ensured they had arrived well before puck drop. There must have been six rows deep of fans on the glass on Thursday night, hoping to catch a good glimpse of star forward Patrick Kane during warmups ahead of his

The Detroit Red Wings’ big move of the summer was bringing in Alex DeBrincat after swinging a trade with the Ottawa Senators. It seemed like a shifting of the tide as DeBrincat came to Hockeytown, and it signaled a positive change in direction. For DeBrincat, he was able to settle in well and get into

The Detroit Red Wings are trying to compete and prove that they can compete. They are on the edge of a postseason run, trying to prove that they will be a team that plays into the postseason this season. When the team added Patrick Kane, it was almost a boost of confidence that the Detroit

The Detroit Red Wings are bringing in Patrick Kane to their roster after signing him and getting him acclimated in his new home. That will require them to shift things around in the forward core. One of those moves may be shifting David Perron downward. Detroit Red Wings forward David Perron has taken some regressions

The Detroit Red Wings are seeing forward Robby Fabbri come alive. After missing time at the beginning of the year, the veteran forward has started to score and score in bunches, for that matter. He’s been on fire as of late. The Detroit Red Wings should be thrilled with how well things are going for

While I agree with almost everyone’s point of view that Simon Edvinsson deserves a spot in the Detroit Red Wings lineup, I find great value in him playing for the Grand Rapids Griffins. Let’s go back to game one of the Grand Rapids Griffins 2023-24 season. Sitting next to my dad, we watch Edvinsson strip

The Detroit Red Wings remained hot in Buffalo, skating to a 5-3 victory over the Sabres. Detroit improves to 14-7-3 on the year with help on the way. Detroit is amid a mini three-game win streak, plus six of their last seven, and is expected to have star forward Patrick Kane debut on Thursday against

Head coach Derek Lalonde and his coaching staff will have a decision to make over the next day or two regarding which Red Wings’ forward will come out of the lineup in favor of star forward Patrick Kane. Kane, 35, is expected to enter Detroit’s lineup on Thursday at home against the San Jose Sharks;

Under Steve Yzerman‘s front-office leadership, the Detroit Red Wings have yet to reach the postseason. For some, this is worrisome. Fans can be impatient, even with a player who won three Stanley Cups wearing the winged-wheel and then as the general manager credited with building the Tampa Bay Lightning into a powerhouse. Yzerman is in

The Detroit Red Wings should be thrilled with how things are going for one of their signees. This off-season, the Red Wings went out and signed J.T. Compher. They added Compher on a five-year, $25.5 million contract, locking him up through the 2027-28 season. The 28-year-old forward has carved out a solid career in the

The Detroit Red Wings have had themselves a big 2023-24 campaign. Their red-hot start was one of note all across the league, coming out and showing that this Red Wings team is different. Then they sputtered a bit and returned to more of the Red Wings team than was expected. But the Detroit Red Wings

The Detroit Red Wings saw forward Joe Veleno come into the 2023-24 season, getting himself off to a hot start. The former first-rounder has started to cool off a bit, seeing his offense trail off slightly from where he was in the early parts of the season. While the Detroit Red Wings have plenty of

The Detroit Red Wings recently made the move to elevate their roster and signed elite forward Patrick Kane. This acquisition will create a monumental shift, one that will significantly impact both the team’s dynamics and the broader NHL landscape. Kane, known for his exceptional skill, remarkable vision on the ice, and scoring prowess, will undoubtedly

The Detroit Red Wings came home from Montreal with two points, and Alex DeBrincat came home with a milestone of his own. The Red Wings forward was able to tally a big-time goal during the contest, making some history on the career mark. The goal came in the second period when DeBrincat was able to
