They beat the Chicago Blackhawks,

Of all the returning players on the Detroit Red Wings, no one needs a fresh start more than Filip Zadina. Four years have passed since he was taken No. 6 overall, a draft slot that comes with a great deal of expectations. Zadina himself stoked the excitement with a draft-night pledge that showed the personality

Lucas Raymond had a goal and two assists, all in the third period, as the Detroit Red Wings beat the Blackhawks, 3-0, the Wings’ fourth preseason game on Saturday in Chicago. Alex Nedeljkovic stopped all 14 shots he faced over the first two periods. Sebastian Cossa made seven saves in the third period to preserve

Forget the memes of “Hot Girl Summer” — it’s time for “Tall Guy Fall.” *No, we are not actually rooting for tall guys to fall. Instead, as baseball season, dominated the past few weeks by the 6-foot-7 Aaron Judge’s chase of the American League home run record, turns to hockey season, we’re reminded that the

As the Detroit Red Wings audition their way through an eight-game exhibition slate, it was goalie Ville Husso’s turn to get a look. Friday’s exhibition outing against the Washington Capitals at Little Caesars Arena was a slog at times, but it allowed the Wings to see more of prospects including Simon Edvinsson and Jonatan Berggren.

Andrew Copp is determined to be in the lineup when his new team opens the season. Copp, one of multiple free-agent additions by general manager Steve Yzerman during the offseason, has recovered enough from core surgery that he has begun practicing in a non-contact jersey. But with the Detroit Red Wings‘ Oct. 14 opener two

As much as the emphasis under new coach Derek Lalonde is on playing a sound defensive game, it is vital for the fresh-start Detroit Red Wings to jump-start their power play. It has been a weakness for so long (16.3% last season; 14.6% spanning the last three seasons), such a squandering of two minutes with

Good news for the Detroit Red Wings: One of their key forwards could be back as soon as Saturday. Tyler Bertuzzi missed all but the first day of the Traverse City part of training camp, sidelined by what head coach Derek Lalonde termed a “flare up.” Bertuzzi skated by himself earlier in the week, and

When your top defenseman who’s the reigning rookie of the year is involved in a weird play that leads to giving up the first goal of the game after just 11 seconds, well, maybe it’s not going to be your night on defense. But credit the Detroit Red Wings for bouncing back from Moritz Seider’s

The Detroit Red Wings had their first look at some of their new players and hopeful prospects. The younger set on display Wednesday in an exhibition match against the Chicago Blackhawks included Simon Edvinsson and Elmer Soderblom; the new-look veterans included David Perron and Ben Chiarot. The Wings got a pair of goals from Adam

There isn’t a better vote of confidence for a Detroit Red Wings prospect than a directive from Steve Yzerman. Soderblom, the 6-foot-8 forward who was part of Yzerman’s first draft class as general manager of the Wings, was earmarked to play his second exhibition game on a line with Pius Suter and Adam Erne, which

Derek Lalonde is still laughing about the ranking that placed his looks near the top among NHL coaches. There’s a lot for Lalonde to do in his role as first-year head coach of the Detroit Red Wings, and it’s nice to have something lighthearted to break up the workload. Lalonde finished his Wednesday morning news

The Detroit Red Wings know Jonatan Berggren can dazzle with the puck; they want to see him excel without it. Berggren, a second-round pick from 2018, will have a chance this exhibition season to stake a claim on a spot on the Wings’ roster, or secure his name high on the depth chart should they
