Ville Husso put on a persuasive performance as the Detroit Red Wings continued their push for a playoff spot. Helped by a productive night from their second line and a stellar one from their goaltender Thursday at Little Caesars Arena, the Wings took down one of the NHL’s better teams, beating the New York Rangers,

Lucas Raymond’s continued absence helped Filip Zadina return to the Detroit Red Wings’ lineup. “I really wanted to get Zadina back in,” coach Derek Lalonde said Thursday evening. “He played well previous to the scratch the other day.” The Wings’ didn’t have a morning skate, unusual after being off Wednesday, but blame that on a

If the Detroit Red Wings are going to make the playoffs, if they’re going to be more than anyone expected this season, we can look back at this impressive five-game road swing as the moment when this team took a big step forward and hinted at its potential. The Wings went 4-1 on a wild

It turned out pretty much as the Detroit Red Wings anticipated. Dylan Larkin avoided a suspension for his illegal hit on T.J. Oshie, so the Wings won’t be without their captain when they host the New York Rangers on Thursday. Larkin missed most of Tuesday’s 3-1 victory at the Washington Capitals after being assessed a

WASHINGTON — Ville Husso patted Jakub Vrana on the back on the way out of the locker room, an equipment bag slung over Husso’s back. There were smiles packed among the sticks and skates as the Detroit Red Wings turned homeward bound, their confidence buoyed by having collected eight of 10 points on a geographically

WASHINGTON — Jakub Vrana was welcomed back, Dylan Larkin was tossed, and the Detroit Red Wings edged a little closer to the playoff picture. An eventful first period Tuesday at Capital One Arena saw the Wings gain a lead but lose their captain. Ultimately they celebrated a 3-1 victory over the Washington Capitals, moving within two

WASHINGTON — It wasn’t a decision Derek Lalonde made easily, but it was where the Detroit Red Wings landed. In order to get Jakub Vrana into the lineup for the first time in four months, another forward had to come out for Tuesday’s game against the Washington Capitals. It was Filip Zadina who got the

WASHINGTON — Derek Lalonde suspects his players would like to hear him bring up a certain topic, but Lalonde prefers to let the Detroit Red Wings speak for themselves. “The guys, this is what they have battled for, this is what they wanted — important games late in the season,” Lalonde said Monday. “I’m excited

WASHINGTON — Jakub Vrana’s first NHL game in four months appears likely to come against his former team. Detroit Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde said after Monday’s practice that “we would like to get him in,” Tuesday when the Wings face a crucial test at the Washington Capitals. “We are stuck on who to take

On to the next stop: West Coast to East Coast, with a brief stop to refuel. The Detroit Red Wings are eying Tuesday’s contest against the Capitals in Washington with a great deal of anticipation, and not just because it marks the end of a what has been a long and geographically demanding trip. The

SEATTLE — Half an hour after his teammates had departed, Jakub Vrana was still on the ice, still skating, still shooting pucks. Once again, he was, as his coach termed it, “the 13th forward” for the Detroit Red Wings. It is an unusual situation for a forward as skilled as Vrana to be in, but

SEATTLE — Unable to generate the offense that had led to such success, the Detroit Red Wings‘ longest winning streak of the season came to an end. They sputtered Saturday night at Climate Pledge Arena, thwarted by the Seattle Kraken in a 4-2 loss that ended a five-game streak of celebrations. Pius Suter scored his ninth

Is this really happening? Are the Detroit Red Wings actually playing up to their potential? Are they really one of the NHL’s hottest teams? Are they finally, at long last, looking like a playoff team ready to make a postseason run? OK, that last one might be stretching things a bit. But you can’t argue

The Detroit Red Wings continued their torrid run through Western Canada with another five-goal night to win their fifth straight game, taking down the Calgary Flames, 5-2, on Thursday at Scotiabank Saddledome. Dominik Kubalik had two goals, Tyler Bertuzzi added a goal and two assists and Dylan Larkin kept his scorching month going with three
