Detroit — Goaltender Ville Husso was arguably the Red Wings’ most valuable player for the first half of this season. As the Wings approach the final few days of the season, Husso isn’t playing at the same level. Monday’s 6-1 loss against Dallas was the latest disappointment, with Husso only lasting 12 minutes before being

Detroit – That’s a wrap on the Red Wings’ season at Little Caesars Arena, and considering the outcome, maybe it’s best there’s no more games until September. The home finale was rough. The Wings closed out the home portion of their schedule Monday with a 6-1 loss against Dallas. “Pretty much right from the beginning,”

Detroit — Just returning from knee surgery once can be a long, painful and frustrating process for any athlete. Forward Robby Fabbri has done it. And not just once. But, remarkably, three times, including when Fabbri returned to the lineup on January 4 after tearing his right ACL in March 2022. The Detroit chapter of

Detroit — Pius Suter had to laugh little bit recently when asked about the differences of playing center or wing. Suter, at first, explained the different nuances of the positions, the responsibilities involved. But then, Suter had to stop and smile. “It’s not like it’s rocket science,” Suter said. For Suter, being a versatile player

Detroit – This will be different for forward David Perron after the Red Wings’ season concludes Thursday in Tampa. Normally, Perron would begin mentally transitioning to the playoffs. Teams Perron has played for have been in the playoffs seven consecutive years, and 10 years overall. Perron has become accustomed to playing playoff hockey. ‘But when

Detroit — Star players usually shine at the biggest games, and Pittsburgh’s Sidney Crosby certainly did that Saturday for his team. Crosby had two goals and an assist leading the Penguins, who are clawing to get into the playoffs this final week, past the Red Wings 5-1 at Little Caesars Arena. With the three points,

Detroit — Nothing is going to change these last four games for the Red Wings. There aren’t any curveballs to the lineup. No prospects are being promoted. No playing time is being shifted around. No one is resting any injuries, and the importance of these games hasn’t been diminished. They aren’t making the playoffs for

Detroit — When it’s all said and done this season, the Red Wings likely accomplished one of their biggest goals. The Wings wanted to play meaningful games until deep into the season. They have and did. You can debate how close the Wings really were to the playoffs these last several weeks, but mathematically they

Detroit — Watching defenseman Simon Edvinsson now, you see why the Red Wings did what they did at the beginning of the season. Edvinsson showed flashes during the exhibition season of being ready for the NHL, of handling a third-pair role and learning the NHL in a difficult way. But the Wings have always preached

Detroit — All the Red Wings can do these days is keep winning and hoping beyond hope the Florida Panthers and New York Islanders lose — and keep losing. The playoffs are a near impossibility, but this is professional sports. And this time of year, the unforeseen and unexpected can happen. The Wings enter Thursday’s

Montreal − This was a thin and weak Montreal lineup Tuesday the Red Wings faced, and the Wings did exactly what a maturing, improving team should do. The Wings never gave the Canadiens a chance, scoring early and often in a decisive 5-0 victory. Montreal natives David Perron (two goals and one assist) and Joe

Montreal — Derek Lalonde has been with the Tampa Bay organization the last four seasons and won two Stanley Cups and a Presidents’ Trophy during his time as a Lighting assistant coach. As a first-year head coach of the Red Wings, there isn’t going to be a Stanley Cup or trophy for the NHL’s best

Montreal — Pius Suter, the wily veteran that he is at 26, has really begun feeling his age in recent days. Seeing Simon Edvinsson (age 20) and Marco Kasper (18) take up residence in the Red Wings locker room has left Suter shaking his head. “It’s kind of crazy in that I’m not that old,”

Toronto – The crowd out there who want the Red Wings to keep losing and gain better odds in the draft lottery probably hated this result. Still, you want to think many Red Wings fans enjoyed Sunday’s 5-2 victory over Toronto, in a game that still means quite a bit with the Maple Leafs looking
