Detroit — Red Wings fans are going to get a chance to see defenseman Simon Edvinsson. Edvinsson, the Red Wings’ 2021 first-round draft pick (sixth overall), was recalled Friday, along with forward Austin Czarnik from minor-league affiliate Grand Rapids under emergency conditions. The Wings are without defenseman Ben Chiarot (upper-body injury), forward Robby Fabbri (lower-body),

Detroit — One thing the Red Wings don’t need the remainder of this season is injuries, but they’re beginning to deal with multiple ones as the schedule winds down. Already without forward Robby Fabbri (lower-body), coach Derek Lalonde said defenseman Ben Chiarot is considered week-to-week as he deals with an upper-body injury. “Ben has been

Nashville — Strange to call Tuesday’s game a must-have game, considering where the Red Wings are in the standings, far enough from the playoff cutline to make it highly unlikely getting there, yet tantalizingly possible with a lengthy win streak. But it was, in a huge way. Playing an injury-riddled Nashville team that’s also dreaming

Why Bally Sports Detroit isn’t going anywhere today, and why it might be around for years to come. It’s a crisis, to be sure. But the sky’s not falling. At least, not yet. That’s the biggest takeaway from the Bally Sports kerfuffle, with the regional-sports network’s parent company, Diamond Sports Group, officially filing for Chapter

Nashville − The Red Wings can’t afford to lose many more games if they harbor any playoff dreams. It’s getting difficult mathematically for the Wings with only 15 games remaining on the schedule. A loss like Tuesday’s in Nashville, 2-1, to the Predators, certainly doesn’t help matters. Alex Chiasson scored his third goal, a power-play

Nashville — Maybe it’s that uniform number that Matt Luff wears with the Red Wings, the number 22. One of Luff’s friends is Mitchell Stephens, who played with the Wings last season but also went through an injury-marred campaign. Stephens, incidentally, wore 22. Maybe it’s simply the number. “We were joking around that it’s something

Detroit — It took Alex Chiasson much of this season to finally land an NHL contract. It might take nearly as long this time around if Chiasson continues to play the way he has been. Chiasson scored power-play goals in both of the Red Wings’ games last weekend, including Sunday’s 5-3 victory over Boston. In

Detroit — Like everybody else in this world, the Detroit Red Wings have been waiting for life to settle down a bit. Climbing into a playoff race, being thumped right back out of it, and then trading away several key players at the deadline — the last month has taken an emotional toll. But it

Detroit — Tyler Bertuzzi has been in many games like this at Little Caesars Arena — especially in recent weeks. But as it turns out, even a trade to the NHL’s top team can’t stop him from ending up on the wrong side of the scoreboard. The Detroit Red Wings exploded for three second-period goals

Boston — It was strange seeing Tyler Bertuzzi in a Boston Bruins uniform. It’ll be equally weird Sunday as the Bruins visit Little Caesars Arena, to watch and listen to Bertuzzi being introduced as anything other than a member of the Red Wings. But the Wings and their fans got their first dose of the

Boston — Statistically, in the standings, or to the eye test, the Boston Bruins are the NHL’s best team this season. The Red Wings saw why up close Saturday. The Wings were the better team for the opening 20 minutes, but the Bruins methodically roared back and won 3-2. Garnet Hathaway put a rebound past

Detroit — The first few shifts, sure, it’s going to be strange. For many Red Wings who know Tyler Bertuzzi well, seeing him in a Boston Bruins uniform these next two days, as the Wings play Boston in back-to-back games, is going to unsettling. “Strange,” defenseman Moritz Seider said of facing Bertuzzi as an opponent.

Detroit — The NHL is the toughest hockey league in the world, with the best teams, and parity throughout the 32 teams. Then, there’s what the Boston Bruins are doing this season. The Red Wings face the Bruins for games Saturday (in Boston) and Sunday (at Little Caesars Arena) in what will be Detroit’s most

Detroit — Alan Markovitz, the Detroit strip club kingpin and reality show star known as the “Topless Prophet,” is expected to plead guilty to a federal crime involving lies told to FBI and Internal Revenue Service agents, after a career that has placed him in the figurative, and literal, crosshairs of investigators, rogue cops and

Detroit — Something finally went right for the Red Wings. Mired in a six-game winless streak, the Wings rallied in the third period for a 4-3 victory over the struggling Chicago Blackhawks. Lucas Raymond and Dominik Kubalik scored three minutes, eighteen seconds apart late in the third period, rallying the Wings and ending their lengthy

Detroit — You could maybe see it in the last few games. The Red Wings, after a series of trades and a key injury to Michael Rasmussen, have seen their roster decimated. They’ve also seen their playoff chances equally gutted. So, possibly, their energy on the ice has been affected. If it has, coach Derek

Detroit — Alex Chiasson didn’t really expect it, but it’s obvious listening to him that he appreciates this. Chiasson was in the minor leagues, with the Grand Rapids Griffins, when the Red Wings signed him to an NHL contract Friday, a one-year contract worth $750,000 for the remainder of this season. Chiasson, 32, had been

Detroit — Just shy of two weeks ago, the world was such a happy place for a Red Wings fan. It hadn’t been so filled with joy an wonder for so long. Maybe since that playoff spring in 2016. The February 23 victory over the New York Rangers, a convincing 4-1 win, was the Wings’

Philadelphia – The Red Wings continue to talk about making the playoffs, all the time knowing the odds are getting slimmer by the day. But it sure would help if they won some games. Start earning points for the standings. They aren’t making the playoffs if they continue losing like they did Sunday, 3-1, to
