Lucas Raymond put on a show to break out of an early-season slump.

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.

Dominik Kubalik enjoyed the game, and not just because his three-point night helped the Detroit Red Wings to another victory.

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.

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
