This hasn’t happened often in Lucas Raymond’s career, be it as a professional or when he was still a junior player in Sweden. Rarely has Raymond ever gone through this kind of stretch where goals, or points, have been so difficult to come by. Not getting a goal during Friday’s 6-2 loss in Winnipeg pushed

Carolina Hurricanes coach Rod Brind’Amour knew something was wrong when Tripp Tracy didn’t show up for work on April 26, 2022. As the Hurricanes’ TV color analyst since 1998, Tracy was scheduled to tape a pregame show with Brind’Amour, a former Michigan State Spartans center who won a Stanley Cup in Carolina as a player

There’s going to be a few of these during a long NHL season and the Red Wings definitely encountered one of those ugly losses Friday in Winnipeg. The Wings were never really in this one, losing 6-2 to the Jets, while beginning a three-game Canadian road trip. Maybe it was playing a third game in

The Detroit News Ted Kulfan discusses the Red Wings recalling first-round draft pick Marco Kasper and Hurricanes TV analyst Tripp Tracy is the guest on the OctoPulse podcast. Kasper, who had 23 points in 52 games with Rogle in the Swedish Hockey League this year, arrived in Winnipeg on Friday before the Wings dropped a

About an hour after Thursday’s exciting victory over Carolina, the Red Wings made a personnel move that will caffeinate the fan base for the final two weeks of the regular season. The Wings recalled forward Marco Kasper, the team’s first-round pick (eighth overall) in the 2022 Entry Draft. Kasper is with the team in Winnipeg

Detroit − The Red Wings made an interesting personnel decision after Thursday’s 3-2 victory over Carolina. The Wings called up forward Marco Kasper, the team’s first-round draft pick last July, from Rogle BK of the Swedish Hockey League. Kasper, only 18, spent the entire season in Rogle, collecting 23 points (eight goals, 15 assists) and

Detroit − They likely aren’t going to make the playoffs and with a depleted lineup and countless injuries, but the Red Wings aren’t rolling over and waiting for the season to end. Jake Walman blasted a shot from just inside the blue line with 3.2 seconds left in regulation time, giving the Red Wings a

Detroit — Andrew Copp has already been through the experience of facing the Winnipeg Jets, the team that drafted him and he was a mainstay on for seven seasons. But that was facing the Jets while he was part of the New York Rangers, who acquired Copp during at last season’s trade deadline. Then this

For the first time in the 104-year history of the Memorial Cup, Michigan will host the championship of the Canadian Hockey League (CHL) in 2024. Saginaw was selected on Wednesday afternoon ahead of Ontario Hockey League (OHL) bids from the Niagara IceDogs, Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds, and Kingston Canadiens. “We are thrilled to bring the

Detroit — One of the best reactions to come out of coach Derek Lalonde’s ejection from Tuesday’s game against Pittsburgh was from his daughter Abby. The 12-year-old was planning on writing to the NHL to complain about Lalonde’s second-period ejection after an unsuccessful goaltender interference call. “She wanted to email the league and want to

Detroit — The Red Wings got back into the win column Tuesday but coach Derek Lalonde wasn’t around to see it. David Perron scored two late goals (three in the third period), a power play goal then at even strength 45 seconds later at 17 minutes 5 seconds, completing a hat trick and sending the

Detroit — The next wave of Red Wings prospects is making their way toward the NHL. The Wings announced Tuesday the signing of forward Carter Mazur to a three-year entry-level contract beginning with the 2023-24 season. Mazur will report to the minor-league affiliate Grand Rapids Griffins on an amateur tryout for the remainder of this

Detroit — At this point, with only 10 games left on the schedule, the Red Wings are attempting to somehow cobble together a healthy and winnable lineup. Both of those things are getting increasingly difficult to do. Coach Derek Lalonde confirmed it’s going to be a little tougher task after Monday’s practice, after pretty much

Detroit — The Red Wings aren’t scoring many goals. And, sure enough with the way it works, they’re not winning many games anymore, either. Saturday’s 3-0 loss in Philadelphia was the latest example, with the offense non-existent. The Wings failed to capitalize on a staggering seven power plays, not helping matters, and lost for the

Philadelphia – When a team gets seven power plays during a game like the Red Wings did Saturday, you expect some goals coming your way. But the Wings didn’t get any goals, and none the remainder of the game either, in Saturday’s 3-0 loss in Philadelphia. Make no mistake, the lack of production on the

Philadelphia – Only 10 games left for the Red Wings. Judging from some of the social media comments, the end can’t come soon enough. But coming on the heels of Saturday’s 3-0 loss in Philadelphia, you can understand the disappointment. The Flyers (28-32-12), who are suddenly only three points behind the Wings (31-32-9) in the

Detroit — When goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic was sent down to Grand Rapids in January there were no guarantees Nedeljkovic would ever play another game with the Wings. But this being professional sports, one player’s injury is another’s opportunity and that’s what happened to Nedeljkovic. With Ville Husso (lower-body) injured and unavailable, and Magnus Hellberg unable

Detroit − In case you weren’t watching the basketball game Thursday, there was a hockey game going on at Little Caesars Arena. But wait, yes, you were probably better off watching basketball. Much more entertaining. The Red Wings grabbed an early lead Thursday but watched the St. Louis Blues whittle away and defeat the Wings,

Detroit — Defenseman Simon Edvinsson was back in the Red Wings’ locker room Thursday, taking part in the morning skate, learning under the coaching staff, and of course partaking of the food spread in the kitchen a few steps from the locker room. And if Edvinsson is still around for the weekend, the road hotel
