Detroit Red Wings first-round pick Axel Sandin Pellikka and Anton Johansson combined for a game-winning goal on Wednesday, propelling Team Sweden past Finland 3-2. The Detroit Red Wings selected Sandin Pellikka with their second first-round selection in this past summer’s NHL Draft with the No. 17 overall pick. Sandin Pellikka, 18, drew numerous comparisons to

Following being named Detroit Red Wings Rookie of the Year, can the man nicknamed ‘Johnny Burgers’ inch himself into a top-six role as early as this season? Consistency needs to be a primary focus for Jonatan Berggren this summer. Last year Berggren went through goalless stretches similar to the ones I recently described with Joe

The Detroit Red Wings enjoyed a very hectic off-season to date. Now, a month following the opening of the free agency period, as the dust finally settles, I have one question. With general manager Steve Yzerman bolstering the roster, can Dylan Larkin follow up his tremendous 2022-23 season with an even better 2023-24 campaign? Larkin,

Sure, hockey analytics have come a long way over the past 12 or 13 years, and our ability to gain a deeper understanding of the game of hockey is only limited by our willingness to absorb

The Detroit Red Wings are slated to make a trip overseas, playing in Sweden as part of the NHL’s Global Series for this upcoming 2023-24 season. They will partake in a couple of games overseas, playing in front of European fans in Sweden. There will be four teams overseas, and the Detroit Red Wings will

It’s been a hectic summer for Steve Yzerman and the Detroit Red Wings. Yzerman understood the organization was prepared to take the next step forward in their rebuild, and the plethora of additions have translated to Detroit’s off-season grade. Following the NHL Draft, Yzerman began the free agency period very busy signing and trading for

The Detroit Red Wings made some changes this off-season. They have added in some pieces and lost others. It’s been a busy off-season for the Red Wings trying to figure things out. While they were able to pick up Alex DeBrincat in a blockbuster trade, he will have to bring some offense of his own.

The Detroit Red Wings are going to have some battles during this year’s training camp at hand. They are going to have some players who are fighting for those last few roster spots. But competition is good and brings out good aspects of some of these players. For the Detroit Red Wings defense core, things

Things have gradually improved since Steve Yzerman returned to the Detroit Red Wings. The term to focus on is ‘gradually.’ I don’t believe things have progressed as quickly as many fans originally thought when the news broke that Yzerman would be taking over the reins of the organization from Ken Holland. The term often used

By most accounts, Marco Kasper has an NHL-ready game and could be ready for action with the Detroit Red Wings as soon as 2023-24. Despite that, his road to the big leagues anytime soon became quite murky over the last few weeks. General manager Steve Yzerman has not been in the business of clearing the

The Detroit Red Wings are getting ready for the 2023-24 season, and that will require their forward core to make some tough decisions. One of the players that will need to find a home in the 2023-24 Red Wings forward core is Elmer Söderblom. The 6-foot-8, 246-pound winger debuted for the Detroit Red Wings in

It isn’t hyperbolic to state that Moritz Seider is the most important member of the Detroit Red Wings as they enter the next stage of their rebuild. One could argue that Dylan Larkin is a bigger key to success, but he’d be a No. 2 center on most Stanley Cup contenders—implying that if the Red

The most significant move of the Detroit Red Wings off-season by far was trading for Alex DeBrincat in the blockbuster trade with the Senators. The Red Wings “got their guy,” as it was rumored that the two sides had been nearing a deal for quite some time. It really is excellent for the Detroit Red

If you were to ask me if Simon Edvinsson would make the Detroit Red Wings roster about two months ago, I would have said with the utmost confidence, “100% yes.” Now, after free agency and some shakeup amongst the roster, things may not feel the same. It still seems like the Detroit Red Wings will
