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
Detroit — This has been a difficult four-week stretch for the Red Wings. On Feb. 23, they defeated the New York Rangers and slid into the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference. Anything seemed possible. But in the interim, the Wings saw Tyler Bertuzzi, Jakub Vrana, Oskar Sundqvist and Filip Hronek traded. Injuries (Robby
St. Louis – It took a shootout but the Red Wings finally earned a much-needed, and the way this game evolved, much-deserved, win. Lucas Raymond scored the lone goal in a four-round shootout as the Red Wings defeated the St. Louis Blues, 3-2, ending a three-game losing streak. Magnus Hellberg, after a rough first period,
St. Louis — Andrew Copp hasn’t missed the playoffs often during his NHL playing career. But, Copp does remember his Winnipeg Jets missed the playoffs his rookie season (2015-16). Something stood out also, about what then-Jets coach Paul Maurice told the team. At the time, what Maurice said confused Copp. It doesn’t anymore, though, and

Detroit – As the regular season skates into its final few weeks, many teams are fine-tuning their games for the playoffs and playing their best hockey. The Red Wings, it’s becoming increasingly clear, aren’t going to make the playoffs. The Wings also aren’t playing their best hockey. Florida gave another example Monday for the Wings
Detroit — It’s going to be quite the reunion, for a good portion of both teams’ lineups, Tuesday in St. Louis. From the Red Wings’ side, you have forward David Perron, defenseman Jake Walman and goaltender Ville Husso all returning to St. Louis to face the Blues, where they played last season. And you could
Detroit — Goaltender Ville Husso has been one of the Red Wings’ best, and consistent, players this season. If it weren’t for Husso’s performance the first couple of months, the Wings might be a bit further down the standings than where they currently sit. But Husso wasn’t able to save the Wings in a 5-1
Detroit — Simon Edvinsson didn’t feel out of place, and the rookie defenseman didn’t look out of place in an NHL game. During an afternoon the Red Wings didn’t have much to celebrate, Edvinsson’s first NHL game, in the Wings’ 5-1 loss Saturday to Colorado, was a notable bright spot. Edvinsson played 15 minutes 34
