Former Detroit Red Wings forward Mathias Brome knows how difficult it is to score goals in the NHL. A highly-touted free agent from Sweden signed by general manager Steve Yzerman for $925,000 in 2020, Brome hit the crossbar in his first game, scored only once in 26 games, was demoted to the taxi squad during

Detroit — It’s not often that a handful of games will change the trajectory of a team’s future, but it appears a five-game winning streak for the Detroit Red Wings has done just that. According to NHL insider Elliotte Friedman, the Wings’ recent run has lessened their desire to move veteran winger and impending free

At this point, Jordan Eberle has to wonder what his career might have looked like if he played the Detroit Red Wings more often. The Seattle Kraken forward on Saturday night continued his reign of dominance against Detroit, adding two goals to his career ledger as the Wings had a five-game losing streak stopped with

The way Robby Fabbri described it a few days ago was “feeling a little something in that room right now.” For sure, after Thursday’s 5-2 victory in Calgary — which completed a three-game sweep of western Canada and stretched the overall win streak to five games — the Wings are feeling awfully good about things.

The Red Wings are soaring right now, and it might be time to remember how it felt like to be in a playoff race. The Wings stretched their win streak to a season-high five games Thursday with a 5-2 victory in Calgary. That’s five straight wins and eight wins in their last 11 games for

Detroit — This season hasn’t gone the way Alex Nedeljkovic imagined it would. It likely wasn’t on anyone’s radar that Nedeljkovic would be in Grand Rapids in mid-February attempting to straighten out his game and waiting on a call back to the Red Wings, and the NHL. But that’s where Nedeljkovic is these days, and

Olli Maatta spoke recently about how much he enjoyed Detroit and would like to remain a Red Wing. It didn’t take long for that to happen. The Wings announced Thursday they’ve signed the veteran defenseman to a two-year contract for $6 million ($3 million per year cap hit). Maatta, 28, was signed by general manager

The Red Wings appear serious about making a run toward a playoff spot. Pius Suter scored in the fifth round of the shootout Wednesday, giving the Wings a 5-4 shootout victory in Edmonton. The Wings won the shootout 2-1 with Suter and David Perron scoring. Goaltender Ville Husso only allowed a Connor McDavid goal in

Jakub Vrana was back with the Red Wings on Wednesday, but not back in the lineup. Vrana was recalled Tuesday by the team, replacing the injured Lucas Raymond (lower-body), who was put on the injured list. But Vrana, who was regaining his offensive touch in Grand Rapids, was scheduled to sit and watch Wednesday in

Detroit — The Red Wings are bringing back Jakub Vrana. The team announced Tuesday it is recalling the goal-scoring forward, who was waived Jan. 3 and sent to minor-league affiliate Grand Rapids the next day when Vrana was unclaimed by any other team. In a corresponding move, the Wings put Lucas Raymond on the injured

The Red Wings are putting together that win streak they’ve been talking about. They won their third consecutive game, and sixth in the last nine, defeating the Canucks 6-1 on Monday in Vancouver. Dylan Larkin, who was dominant in the first period scoring two goals (one a power play), Robby Fabbri, Gustav Lindstrom, Pius Suter

It didn’t take long for Olli Maatta to make a favorable impression on Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde. After Maatta signed as a free agent with the Wings in July, Lalonde made a quick phone call to his new defenseman. Maatta was forthright and honest about himself as a player, and where he wanted to

Detroit — The common theme around the Red Wings in recent days has been about the necessity of putting together a win streak and bolstering their playoff positioning. The Wings are seven points behind Pittsburgh for the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference, with three teams between them. So the Wings need some good

Detroit — The people just love George. What’s become a Little Caesars Arena tradition brought a little extra fame to a young fan in attendance at Saturday’s 5-2 win for the Detroit Red Wings. During an extended break in the action during the third period, the video board at Little Caesars Arena showed a young

Detroit — Jonatan, Jonathan, “Johnny Burgers” — Jonatan Berggren doesn’t care what you call him. As long as you call him an NHL player. And after less than half a season in the winged wheel, the 22-year-old Swede has shown that’s exactly what he is. Berggren scored twice in Detroit’s 5-2 win over the Vancouver

Detroit − Filip Zadina picked a pretty good time to get his first goal of the season. Playing in his first game since November, after suffering a lower-body injury, Zadina’s third-period goal lifted the Red Wings to a 2-1 victory Thursday over Calgary. Goaltender Ville Husso made 35 saves as the Wings also killed three

Detroit — It’s been a long time between games for Filip Zadina and Robert Hagg, but both got their chance Thursday against Calgary. Zadina entered the lineup for Dominik Kubalik, while Hagg replaced Jordan Oesterle. For Zadina, especially, a former Wings first-round draft pick (sixth overall), this is another opportunity to establish himself for the

The Calgary Flames will be without defenseman Rasmus Andersson when they play the Detroit Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena on Thursday night, but it’s hard to imagine anybody with the team cares a whole lot about his short-term playing outlook right now. According to the Flames, Andersson, 26, was riding a scooter to dinner
