Steve Yzerman didn’t get to see the team he thought he’d see this season. Then again, neither did you. Though you aren’t the one who had to decide whether to buy, sell or stand pat this week heading into today’s NHL trade deadline. Perhaps you wish you were. Maybe you’d have held on to Tyler

Steve Yzerman didn’t get to see the team he thought he’d see this season. Then again, neither did you. Though you aren’t the one who had to decide whether to buy, sell or stand pat this week heading into today’s NHL trade deadline. Perhaps you wish you were. Maybe you’d have held on to Tyler

An emotional day segued into a challenging evening. The Detroit Red Wings played their first game Thursday since losing two teammates to trades, their fate once again to be sellers as another trade deadline rolls around. They chased and rallied against the Seattle Kraken before succumbing in overtime, 5-4. “All in all, a pretty good

Dylan Larkin let raw emotions show as he reviewed a 24-hour period that brought immense joy — and sadness. He was driving to Little Caesars Arena Thursday morning, the day after signing an eight-year, $69.6 million extension that likely means he will play his entire NHL career with the Detroit Red Wings, when his fiancée

General manager Steve Yzerman has seen his Detroit Red Wings show promise — and growing pains — over the past month. That he will be a seller again at Friday’s trade deadline was evident Wednesday, when Yzerman flipped defenseman Filip Hronek to the Vancouver Canucks for a conditional first-round and a second-round pick.
