David Perron has played a fraction of his 1,000 NHL games for the Detroit Red Wings, but that his milestone came with them befits his impact. In the twilight of his career, the 34-year-old has strengthened the Wings as they emerge from their rebuild. He is a combination of feisty and finesse; poised, productive and

The Detroit Red Wings left the last stop on their road trip with a point and a redeeming performance. An errant pass in overtime proved costly Saturday at American Airlines Center, leading the Dallas Stars to a 3-2 victory, but overall the Wings played well against one of the top teams in the NHL. They

The Detroit Red Wings will wear their 2022 “Reverse Retro” red-with-black-stripes sweaters designed by Adidas for the second time Tuesday against the Carolina Hurricanes − who, uh, also wear a lot of red and black. The Wings are scheduled to wear the jerseys four more times this season: Dec. 31 against the Ottawa Senators, Jan.

SUNRISE, Fla. — Alex Nedeljkovic looked crestfallen as he addressed his latest performance. That the Detroit Red Wings face the Dallas Stars Saturday needing to flush a bad outing against the Panthers isn’t all on Nedeljkovic, but while blame for Thursday’s 5-1 loss spreads to entire team, it was Nedeljkovic who was trying to explain

SUNRISE, Fla. — Alex Nedeljkovic’s attempt to regain his footing stumbled, and so did the Detroit Red Wings. The execution and energy that sparked the previous performance wasn’t there when the puck dropped Thursday at FLA Live Arena, and that tarnished what had been a good trip. A two-game winning streak came to an end

SUNRISE, Fla. — Back when they were a playoff team, the Detroit Red Wings had a defense corps that contributed at both ends of the ice. The impact of the current corps — beyond simply having a stable top four — is among the reasons the Wings have enjoyed an overall good start to their season.

SUNRISE, Fla. — One victory against a highly skilled opponent and a few victories on the road, does not a season make. But it does make a team trying to gauge its own growth feel positive. The Detroit Red Wings will try to go for a third straight victory Thursday at the Florida Panthers, an

TAMPA, Fla. — Four goals in five minutes is dizzying, but two of them added up to four and fun for the Detroit Red Wings. “It’s not always nice when you have the lead and they get a couple, but we were ready to finish the game with a couple empty netters,” Ville Husso said

TAMPA, Fla. — The Detroit Red Wings measured up to an elite opponent, and got their head coach a victory in his former home. They put on a good start and a resilient finish Tuesday at Amalie Arena against the Tampa Bay Lightning, a team that has been to the Stanley Cup Final the last

TAMPA, Fla. — Jon Cooper spotted Jeff Blashill talking to Detroit media and played a little air violin, poking fun at his longtime friend. Tuesday’s game between the Detroit Red Wings and Tampa Bay Lightning at Amalie Arena was heavy on reunions: It was Blashill’s first game as an assistant coach with the Lightning against

TAMPA, Fla. — This week will be revealing for the Detroit Red Wings. They’ve achieved a winning record on the strength of beating teams that don’t project to make the playoffs, but now come a trio of elites, one after the one: The Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday, Florida Panthers on Thursday, and Dallas Stars

It didn’t take long to notice the Blue Jackets’ focus wasn’t sharp Sunday in a 4-2 loss to the Detroit Red Wings at Nationwide Arena. Marcus Bjork, a rookie defenseman, got the puck during his first shift and attempted an exit pass from deep in his own zone. He then watched in horror as the

This was not how the Blue Jackets wanted to return from an uplifting road victory in Winnipeg. Rather than building on that game Sunday, they lost 4-2 to the Detroit Red Wings at Nationwide Arena in a game controlled by the visitors most of the night. Detroit took a 2-0 lead in the first period, pushed

Playing an opponent outside the playoff picture was just what the Detroit Red Wings needed to find the win column again. They improved to 3-0 this season when playing on the road the day after a home game, using their power play to dispatch the Columbus Blue Jackets, 4-2, Sunday at Nationwide Arena. Multiple players
