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.

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

The Detroit Red Wings battle for the crease continues to intensify as the club appears content to foster three netminders for the duration of the season. It’s not uncommon for an organization to identify and correct a weakness. Still, it seems as though general manager Steve Yzerman wanted to ensure that head coach Derek Lalonde

The consensus is the Detroit Red Wings are much better than last season. Why such optimism? It’s the offense. Even though last year’s team and this year’s version have the same number of points (27) after 22 games, the current edition has much more firepower. And their offense hides flaws. After whipping the Chicago Blackhawks

The Detroit Red Wings have now won five of their last six games and have continued to get the job done.

One of the things that the Detroit Red Wings have been hoping for is depth in their forward core. In 2023-24, the team has taken some strides in that regard. One player who has helped is Robby Fabbri, who is healthy and scoring. After an early injury kept him off the ice, the Detroit Red

The Detroit Red Wings made the big move to sign Patrick Kane, but what now? It’s like sneaking a peek at a Christmas gift but still having a month to unwrap it. In this case, Kane will likely be in the Red Wings lineup next week. After the signing of Kane was announced, the Detroit
