Their week of facing western Canadian foes continued Thursday with the Calgary

Associated Press |  Detroit Free Press Calgary Flames defenseman Rasmus Andersson was sent to the hospital Wednesday night after being struck by a vehicle while riding a scooter in Detroit. The team said Thursday that Andersson was riding a scooter to dinner at about 6 p.m. when he was hit. “He was going through a crosswalk,”

Tyler Bertuzzi scored for the Detroit Red Wings in the first period Tuesday against Edmonton. He snapped the puck from the right circle after a tidy pass from Lucas Raymond. He found an opening and pounced when he had the chance, driving toward the net, as always. The forward has a talent for getting to

Tyler Bertuzzi had a good laugh clearing up a bit of misinformation generated by a friend and teammate, happily revealing what he really did during the Detroit Red Wings’ bye week. Bertuzzi didn’t stay in town to work on his game, he just looked like he did. Four months into the season and after three

There were the goal posts, and the open net, and ultimately, a familiar feeling.

Adding a projected 30-to-40-goal scorer a few weeks before the trade deadline is an enticing prospect for a team looking to put together a winning streak. Jakub Vrana appears to have “gotten his game in order,” as he was tasked by the Detroit Red Wings to do when he was assigned to the minors in

Ville Husso spent the break in in Orlando with his girlfriend and his dad. Jonatan Berggren went to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic, and Robby Fabbri to Tulum, Mexico.

Defenseman Moritz Seider hit on two of the major storylines as he eyeballed the Detroit Red Wings on the flip side of their bye week. They emerge from hibernation with 34 games left, starting with Tuesday’s home date against the Edmonton Oilers. The Oilers are a prime example of a team looking to shore up
