The game wouldn’t have been as memorable if the result didn’t live up to the action. The Detroit Red Wings beat the Colorado Avalanche handily on March 26, 1997, first with their gloves off and then, in overtime, with their gloves on in a game that has become an integral part of franchise history. WHAT A MOMENT!:

The Detroit Red Wings shed the stress from the NHL trade deadline and from being sleepless in Seattle and moved forward. They sounded as relieved as they looked after recording a victory Tuesday, one they needed after a wearying road trip and a worrisome deadline. Beating the Philadelphia Flyers, 6-3, at Little Caesars Arena, was

There were new faces in the lineup and a familiar one to celebrate as the Detroit Red Wings returned home. Newcomer Oskar Sundqvist contributed an empty-net goal Tuesday against the Philadelphia Flyers at Little Caesars Arena, restoring a measure of redemption for the Wings. Their 6-3 victory was just their second win in nine games. The Wings

One of the first people Oskar Sundqvist talked to after being traded to the Detroit Red Wings was Nicklas Lidstrom, the legendary defenseman turned team executive. One of Sundqvist’s first laughs came when he shared a memory of going up against another former Wings defenseman: Niklas Kronwall. The two Swedes used to battle one another

The Detroit Red Wings added a versatile forward in Oskar Sundqvist who could turn out to be a solid secondary player. Sundqvist, along with defenseman Jake Walman and a 2023 second-round pick, were acquired at Monday’s trade deadline in the deal that sent Nick Leddy to the St. Louis Blues. “It was an opportunity to bring

Steve Yzerman sounded pleased overall with what he was able to do with the Detroit Red Wings at the trade deadline. He added a 2023 second-round pick, a 2024 fourth-round pick, and a 2022 seventh-round pick to the rebuild. Yzerman also added a right-shot forward and left-shot defenseman to the current squad, while subtracting defensemen Nick

Jake Walman joins the Detroit Red Wings with a heady endorsement: Steve Yzerman has had interest in him for years. Walman, forward Oskar Sundqvist and a 2023 second-round pick were acquired at Monday’s trade deadline in the deal that sent Nick Leddy to the St. Louis Blues. The 26-year-old defenseman, 6 feet 2 and 215 pounds, shoots

Detroit Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman had an interesting response when asked about coach Jeff Blashill. Blashill is in the last year of his contract. He had just received a two-year extension when Yzerman was named GM in April 2019, and was re-upped by Yzerman at the end of last season. The Wings (25-30-7)

Detroit Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman added a future asset to the rebuild by trading forward Vladislav Namestnikov. The trade was still being finalized Monday afternoon, one among many in the queue with Central Registry, which was backlogged after the 3 p.m. deadline, according to Namestnikov’s agent. The Stars, who are run by Yzerman’s

As anticipated, the Detroit Red Wings traded defenseman Nick Leddy ahead of Monday afternoon’s NHL trade deadline. Leddy goes to the St. Louis Blues for a 2023 second-round pick, forward Oskar Sundqvist and Jake Walman, the Wings announced an hour before the deadline. Leddy, 31, was scratched the past two Wings games as protection against injury, signaling general manager

Jeff Blashill pointed out a truth about the Detroit Red Wings that will stand past the trade deadline; it’s also one which doesn’t bode particularly well for the last 20 games. “Monday, the deadline will be over, but we’re going to have a whole bunch of the same guys here,” he said after yet another disappointing

Detroit Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman whittled his defensive corps, unloading Troy Stecher for a seventh round pick. The 2022 selection from the Los Angeles Kings isn’t much, but the Wings had no use for Stecher anymore. He didn’t fit into their future, and, with claiming Olli Juolevi off waivers earlier this month, wasn’t needed

The Toronto Maple Leafs, desperate to shore up before the playoffs, are looking to a former Detroit Red Wings goaltender for help — and ditching another one. Sunday afternoon’s waivers revealed the Leafs had placed Petr Mrazek on the list, a move that either means they lose him to another team, or he can be
