Amid the excitement stirred by recent top picks, a couple older ones are trying to serve notice of where they fit with the Detroit Red Wings. Defenseman Simon Edvinsson, the No. overall 6 pick in 2021, has been fun to watch these past couple weeks, and forward Marco Kasper, the No. 8 pick in 2022,

Derek Lalonde delivered disappointing news Wednesday: The Detroit Red Wings won’t see any more of their prize pick from the 2022 draft in what is left of this season. A lower-body injury flared up in the one game center Marco Kasper played, and X-rays led team medical personnel to determine it’s best for him to
MONTREAL — As they head into the last five games on their schedule, the Detroit Red Wings are injecting hope into the next season. They have won four of their last five games, three of them against the sort of opponent they face Thursday in the Buffalo Sabres: A team with playoff positioning at stake.
MONTREAL — Rack them up for the Detroit Red Wings, whose good habits just won them their fourth game in five outings. They had fun Tuesday at Centre Bell, playing a Montreal Canadiens team decimated by injuries and spinning an early lead to a 5-0 victory. Even with as much winning as the Wings have
MONTREAL — The Detroit Red Wings would play Marco Kasper every game if possible, but a lower-body injury disrupted those plans. Kasper spent Tuesday morning at Bell Centre getting treatment, and while that ruled him out against the Canadiens, the hope is Kasper will be available Thursday, when the Wings play the first of three
The National Hockey League announced Monday that Detroiter Jason McCrimmon is one of three finalists for the 2023 Willie O’Ree Community Hero Award in the United States. The award is given “to an individual who — through the sport of hockey — has positively impacted his or her community, culture or society.” McCrimmon is the
There was Marco Kasper, shoving and battling with Calle Jarnkrok. Soon after, it was Timothy Liljegren. The Detroit Red Wings gave their 2022 first-round pick a challenge in his NHL debut, and he responded with the kind of performance that made them select him at No. 8 last July. Kasper, who turns 19 on Saturday,
What a night for the Detroit Red Wings. There was a time late in the second period Sunday at Scotiabank Arena when four of their most recent top first-round picks were scrumming with the Toronto Maple Leafs, shoving and jawing with divisional rivals. An older first-round pick, Dylan Larkin, scored a hat trick en route
One of the encouraging storylines to emerge as the Detroit Red Wings close out this season is Simon Edvinsson’s ascension on the defense’s depth chart. The Wings have seven games left before they head into another long offseason. For general manager Steve Yzerman the work never really ends: It’s on him and his staff to
There wasn’t much for the Detroit Red Wings to do after Friday’s dismantling than move on to the next game. After two energetic performances, their third outing in four nights fizzled against a Winnipeg Jets team with a Western Conference wild-card spot on the line. The Jets opened with six straight goals en route to
The Detroit Red Wings announced late Thursday that they have recalled Marco Kasper from Sweden. He flew with them to Winnipeg, where they play Friday. That’s a significant move, because Kasper, 18, is their prize pick from the 2022 draft, selected at No. 8. The native of Austria has spent the 2022-23 season with Rögle,
The Detroit Red Wings announced late Thursday that they have recalled Marco Kasper from Sweden. That’s a significant move, because Kasper, 18, is their prize pick from the 2022 draft, selected at No. 8. The native of Austria has spent the 2022-23 season with Rögle, earning 23 points (8-15-23), a plus-seven rating and 72 penalty
This is how the Detroit Red Wings inject meaning into the last weeks of their season: By making it difficult for opponents with playoff positioning on the line. They challenged the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday at Little Caesars Arena, limiting quality scoring chances as the Metropolitan Division-leading Hurricanes tried to cement home-ice advantage through the
Ville Husso has reappeared on the Detroit Red Wings’ radar, and that could squeeze out a guy looking for an extension. The Wings came into this week saying Husso likely was done for the season — there’s only two weeks left — because of a nagging injury, but by midweek, he was on the ice, sharing
