Detroit Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman showed his eye remains very much on the future of the rebuild and traded veteran defenseman Filip Hronek. The return from the Vancouver Canucks yielded at first-round pick and a second-round pick in the 2023 draft. The Canucks also got a 2023 fourth-round pick. Hronek, 25, had nine

Dylan Larkin’s importance to the Detroit Red Wings has been cemented with an extension that secures his services through the 2030-31 season and avoids any talk of unrestricted free agency. The 26-year-old forward signed an eight-year extension Wednesday, two days before the NHL trade deadline. It’s the maximum length possible for a team signing its

If that was the Detroit Red Wings’ version of playoff hockey, it doesn’t bode well for their wild-card chase. They were beaten up two straight nights by the Ottawa Senators., losing 6-1 Tuesday at Canadian Tire Centre after losing by a four-goal margin 24 hours earlier. The Wings came into the mini-series full of hope

When the Detroit Red Wings finally got him into the lineup on a regular basis, Jake Walman showed what a help he can be. It made sense, therefore, as the Wings announced Tuesday, to sign the 27-year-old defenseman to a three-year, $10.2 million extension; the $3.4 million annual average value fits in well with what

The Detroit Red Wings’ hunt for a playoff spot hit a rut in the first of back-to-back games against one of the other teams giving chase. The Wings made so many tracks to the visitors penalty box Monday at Canadian Tire Centre, there was little chance to make a game of it against the Ottawa

The consensus from the Detroit Red Wings was to move on from Saturday night’s 3-0 loss to Tampa Bay and eye the opportunity in Ottawa. They play a back-to-back there to open the week, adding a game Tuesday to the Monday one that was on the original schedule because a Dec. 23 contest was postponed

Detroit Red Wings forward Michael Rasmussen has been ruled out indefinitely with a lower-body injury. Rasmussen was injured in the first period Saturday, buckling in pain after getting hit in the kneecap by a puck fired by Tampa Bay’s Zach Bogosian, who has a heavy shot. Wings coach Derek Lalonde said Sunday the team should

Three years after being on the scrap heap of the NHL, the Detroit Red Wings have created an appealing quandary for their general manager. The NHL trade deadline is less than a week away, and the Wings are flirting with making the playoffs for the first time since 2016. They’re among a handful of teams

One of the Detroit Red Wings‘ top-six forwards has been lost to injury. Rasmussen was hit in the leg by a shot during the first period of Saturday’s contest against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Rasmussen limped off the ice and went straight to the locker room. Zach Bogosian has a heavy shot, and Rasmussen looked

The Detroit Red Wings‘ bid for a playoff spot was set back by one of the best goaltenders in the game. Andrei Vasilevskiy withstood a pounding Saturday at Little Caesars Arena, making 45 saves for the Tampa Bay Lightning to hand the Wings a 3-0 loss. “He was just remarkable,” Wings coach Derek Lalonde said.

Lucas Raymond took part in Friday’s practice, but his availability remains up in the air. Two weeks have passed since a lower-body injury sidelined the Detroit Red Wings’ top-line winger. Both he and coach Derek Lalonde expressed hope, but not certainty, that he might be ready to play Saturday, when the Wings host the Tampa

The Detroit Red Wings are playing their best hockey of the season. They won again Thursday night at Little Caesars Arena, blitzing the New York Rangers, 4-1. The Wings have won seven of eight and would be in the … ah, I’m not gonna say it. Let’s let Andrew Copp say it. He earned it

Andrew Copp brought it up after the Detroit Red Wings‘ latest victory. Their measure of swagger headed into their next game grew after they edged inside the playoff picture. “If everyone feels like they have a part of it, it makes it that much more special,” Copp said. “I think that’s been a key piece,
