Does Buffalo’s KeyBank Arena even have a doorbell to ring? That’s the question as the Detroit Red Wings go trick-or-treating … er, drop the puck with the Buffalo Sabres on Monday night. The visit to western New York will be the franchise’s 12th time playing on the road on Halloween; the Wings are 4-4-3 all-time

Steve Yzerman is slated to speak, and the Stanley Cup will be in attendance, as will numerous fan favorites from that glorious time when the Detroit Red Wings slaked a thirst that had persisted for decades. Over the coming week, the Wings will celebrate the men who brought the Cup back to Detroit and then

Lucas Raymond put on a show to break out of an early-season slump. The second-year forward’s dominant performance Saturday at Little Caesars Arena against the Minnesota Wild yielded two goals for the Detroit Red Wings and a 2-1 victory that snapped a two-game losing skid. “This was just a quality win considering who we have

November is right around the corner, and the Detroit Red Wings are well underway, with several narratives already emerging. One key one playing out off the ice centers on two players who are in the last year of their contracts: Dylan Larkin and Tyler Bertuzzi. They are the subject of this Wings mailbag, with Free

The Detroit Red Wings are now down four of their top nine forwards, and it could be five, as they try to snap a two-game losing streak. Michael Rasmussen will miss Saturday’s game against the Minnesota Wild and Monday’s at the Buffalo Sabres after being handed a two-game suspension Friday afternoon by the NHL for

Brad Marchand returned just in time to spoil the Detroit Red Wings‘ attempts to hold their own against one of the top teams in the NHL. Beating a forecasted Thanksgiving return following double hip surgery, Marchand had two goals and an assist for the Boston Bruins on Thursday at TD Garden. The Wings (3-2-2) skated

Derek Lalonde had some “hard conversations,” as he put it, with individual Detroit Red Wings players as the team tries to move forward. For only the second time this season, the Wings (3-1-2) face a team that made the playoffs last season when they take on the Bruins (6-1-0) in Boston Thursday. The Wings, who

Derek Lalonde sounded like he would like to eliminate days off, and barring that — which he can’t do — at the very least he wants the Detroit Red Wings to show they learned something. They turn their eyes to redemption in Boston after being shown up on home ice Tuesday, when the New Jersey

Tuesday’s test turned out to be an opportunity to show some mettle after getting into trouble. The Detroit Red Wings had a tough outing against the New Jersey Devils, faced with a deficit that stood at multiple goals after 25 minutes.

Among the more satisfying numbers for the Detroit Red Wings early in the 2022-23 season are their success rates on special teams. They have five goals on 21 power play opportunities, all of them in the past three games after making personnel adjustments on both units. The Wings are 5-for-14 on man advantages entering Tuesday’s

Dominik Kubalik enjoyed the game, and not just because his three-point night helped the Detroit Red Wings to another victory. Sunday’s 5-1 success against the Anaheim Ducks at Little Caesars Arena was notable for how well the Wings performed on special teams, but also for how Ben Chiarot singlehandedly mowed down Ducks on one shift.

The Detroit Red Wings satisfied their coach’s curiosity by doing what they should do: Thrash a weaker team. The Wings used their special teams to come out on top Sunday at Little Caesars Arena, clipping the Anaheim Ducks, 5-1. “I think we got a lesson last game how to learn and win those games when

The telling part for the Detroit Red Wings will be how they handle their next game. They enter Sunday’s matchup with the Anaheim Ducks smarting, looking more like last season’s team that mustered points in just over half their games than the up-and-comers they appeared to be this season.  Although they have points in four

CHICAGO — Head coach Derek Lalonde said the Detroit Red Wings “got exactly what we deserved in the third” after blowing a two-goal lead. It was a lesson in puck management for the Wings, who left the United Center Friday ruing a 4-3 overtime loss after taking a 3-1 lead into the third period. “It
