Detroit — It used to be pretty darn busy around here this time of year, in case you forgot. The Red Wings and Pistons were preparing for long playoff runs, the Tigers were stocking optimism and beer for opening day, and the Lions were debating which unfortunate soul to draft in the top 10. Anyone

Detroit — The day off Wednesday was well earned and needed for the Red Wings. Since flying to Vancouver on Feb. 12, they’ve been on an odyssey of five cities and games over nine days. It was a grueling trip, in some hostile and normally difficult arenas to win. All the Wings did, though, was

Washington, D.C. − The Red Wings had to win Tuesday without captain Dylan Larkin for much of the game as it turns out. Larkin was issued a major cross-checking penalty and a game misconduct for cross-checking Washington’s T.J. Oshie near the throat area at 15 minutes 57 seconds of the first period. Ultimately, it didn’t

Washington, D.C. — Jakub Vrana is back in the Red Wings lineup. Vrana will replace Filip Zadina in the Wings’ lineup Tuesday against Washington — the team that shipped Vrana to the Red Wings for Anthony Mantha at the April 2021 trade deadline. This will be Vrana’s first game back in Washington since the trade

Detroit — Simon Edvinsson knows he wasn’t good enough during training camp in September to make the Red Wings. In Edvinsson’s estimation, it’s simple. “If I had (had) a real good training camp, I would be up there right now,” Edvinsson told The Detroit News. True enough. Edvinsson wasn’t quite good enough, not game to

Ted Kulfan previews the Red Wings’ final game of a successful five-game road trip in Washington and Sweden’s top NHL prospect Leo Carlsson is the interview guest. Detroit heads into Tuesday’s wild-card showdown at Capital One Arena three points behind the Penguins and Islanders for the final playoff position and one point behind the Capitals,

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

Washington, D.C. – Sure enough, Jakub Vrana had never been in the visitor’s locker room at Capital One Arena before Monday’s Red Wings’ practice. Vrana played the first five seasons of his career in Washington and never ventured down the hallway. “Never,” said Vrana after Monday’s practice. “This is the first time. I’ve never been

At this point, Jordan Eberle has to wonder what his career might have looked like if he played the Detroit Red Wings more often.

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

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
