The Detroit Red Wings enter Monday’s contest against the New York Islanders, having lost three games in a row but will look to buck the once-familiar trend. Detroit enters the night with a 5-3-1 record. New York currently sits with a 4-2-1, and like the Boston Bruins, who Detroit just lost to on Saturday, play

When the Detroit Red Wings were ripping off victories to begin the season, it was their special teams leading the charge. Detroit’s power play had been operating at a 50% clip, and their penalty kill had an 85% success rate. And don’t look now, but a five-game win streak has been nearly erased with three

The Detroit Red Wings got off to a blistering start this season, but one player who needs to be better is starting goaltender Ville Husso. Last season had been Husso’s first opportunity to be ‘the guy’ in goal for an organization, the clear number one option per se. Before Detroit traded for his services, he

The Detroit Red Wings have dropped their last two games and are in a bit of a lull this week. It has not been the same team that they showed up to be earlier during their five-game win streak. The bad news is things are not going to get any easier. As the Detroit Red

Jamie Sabau-USA TODAY Sports David Perron still productive for the Detroit Red Wings despite lesser role by Bob Heyrman During the NHL Entry Draft this past June, The Detroit Red Wings seemed to have hedged their bets in the goaltending department when they selected Trey Augustine of the USNTDP with the 41st pick. At the

Leadership, creativity, strength, and grit are a few words that describe Detroit Red Wings veteran forward David Perron. Speed and skating did not come to my mind first, well, maybe lack thereof. As I joke, I can only assume there are a handful of fans shaking their fist at their screen, conveying ‘he’s a Stanley

The Detroit Red Wings started slow, played slow, and finished slow on Thursday. It was not a good game for Detroit, who was just handed their second loss in as many games. The Winnipeg Jets were in town and were able to get the best of Detroit. When it comes to the Detroit Red Wings,

It’s hard to criticize the Detroit Red Wings right now. The team is off to an exceptional start, but why not dig into an area of “concern.” I throw the quotes on that because it’s an area that may not be super concerning now, but folks will start to worry after a while. Detroit Red

The Detroit Red Wings were rolling on an absolute heater with a five-win streak. They fell to Seattle in overtime on Tuesday, in a game tainted by the officiating. Detroit fought hard and was able to battle back in the contest, but Seattle was able to get the OT goal to pick up the win.

The Detroit Red Wings made a bunch of moves this off-season. They built themselves a competing team, and they have come out and done exactly that. The Red Wings 5-1-1 start is excellent, and the new additions have been a big piece of the success. The Detroit Red Wings signed Shayne Gostisbehere to a one-year

Earlier this summer, I nominated forward Joe Veleno as a player to monitor closely to begin the regular season. It seemed premature to suggest 2023-24 being a make-or-break year for the Detroit Red Wings forward, but I couldn’t resist.

It was a late start in Hockeytown as the Detroit Red Wings took on the Seattle Kraken. The late start proved to work against Detroit, as it was more of the norm for Seattle, but the Red Wings were a bit off their game early on. The Detroit Red Wings had some momentum in the

I need to admit this right off the get-go, I was critical of the long-term deal Steve Yzerman and the Detroit Red Wings awarded to defenseman Justin Holl. I wasn’t a fan of the free agent signing or the term. To me, this smelt like another Ben Chiarot-like addition. Yzerman signed Holl to a three-year

One of the biggest concerns for the Detroit Red Wings coming out of the 22’-23’ season was the goaltending, and more specifically, putting too much on Ville Husso’s plate in terms of games played. It was more than noticeable towards the end of the season when Husso’s numbers took a steep decline. He was not

The Detroit Red Wings have been downright dominant to start the 2023-24 season. The fanbase certainly does not know what to do with itself. The Red Wings are fun to watch and leave the fans with the opportunity to enjoy watching games rather than scoffing at this or that. Sure, the Detroit Red Wings were

The Detroit Red Wings are off to an exceptional start in 2023-24. They had gone out and made changes to their roster coming into the season, which has shown to be extremely beneficial early on.

The Detroit Red Wings returned home to take on the Calgary Flames on Sunday afternoon. It’s a quick turnaround for Detroit after beating the Senators 5-2 in Ottawa on Saturday afternoon.
