The chance to finish a lengthy homestand on a high note soured right away.

The Detroit Red Wings will once again be without Tyler Bertuzzi. They placed the top-line winger on injured reserve Thursday evening, the day after he appeared to hurt his left hand when he was hit by a puck during the 5-4 shootout loss against the Buffalo Sabres.

Alex Nedeljkovic has been on the other side of the equation, where he was the goaltender in demand juggling a heavy workload.

Perron was enthusiastic

The challenge from their coach came shortly after the Detroit Red Wings didn’t measure up against one division rival, and involved another one.

When the Detroit Red Wings take the ice on Monday against the Toronto Maple Leafs, they’ll be making history, of sorts: The franchise will wear black — or at least black stripes — for the first time in 95 seasons. That’s part of Adidas’ “Reverse Retro” uniform program for the 2022-23 season. It’s the second

At the quarter point of the season, the Detroit Red Wings have forged a winning record, shown improvement in key categories, and reinforced the outlook that they are coming out of the rebuild.  They’re scoring more and blowing leads less, their special teams are winning games, they’ve had enough depth to endure being without key

Defenseman Filip Hronek continued his hot streak as the Detroit Red Wings continued their winning streak. Hronek recorded a third straight multipoint performance Friday when the Wings hosted the Arizona Coyotes and Dylan Larkin ensured a celebratory ending at Little Caesars Arena when he scored in a shootout to pull the Wings ahead, 4-3, to
