The Red Wings salvaged what had been disappointing road trip Thursday with a badly needed victory. The Wings went into Vegas and defeated the Golden Knights 3-2, getting their first victory on a three-game road trip. The Wings earned three of six points on the trip (loss in Denver, shootout loss in Arizona), and return

The questions and concerns regarding Lucas Raymond don’t come as often anymore. They did at the start of this season, when Raymond didn’t score a goal in the first seven games. Then, again in late November, when Raymond went through a nine-game stretch without a goal. Fair enough. Raymond, even at the tender age of

Tempe, Arizona — Strange how these overtime or shootout results in the NHL can feel occasionally for a team. You lose sometimes, yet feel like you stole a point, depending on how you played. But for the Red Wings, Tuesday’s 4-3 shootout loss to Arizona — yes, even though the Wings earned one point —

Tempe, Ariz. − The Red Wings needed a victory Tuesday and the Arizona Coyotes did not oblige. Playing in the junior-sized rink Mullett Arena, which had tons of Wings fans and still had many seats empty, the Wings dropped a 4-3 decision in a shootout. Arizona won the shootout 2-0, with Nick Schmaltz and Nick

Tempe, Arizona − No team wants to fall behind in a hockey game early, but the Red Wings have made it a habit of it lately. On occasion, they’ve been able to overcome the deficits with dramatic, unexpected comebacks. But it’s not a formula for sustained success, and the for the most part, the Wings

Denver — The Red Wings were no match Monday for the defending Stanley Cup champions. Colorado hasn’t played to the level it did last season, with a ton of injuries impacting its lineup, but the Avalanche looked powerful in defeating the Wings 6-3.

Denver — Alex Nedeljkovic is apparently headed back to Grand Rapids. Nedeljkovic went unclaimed Monday morning by the other 31 NHL teams, and remains Red Wings property. Nedeljkovic, who just completed a conditioning stint with the Griffins, is likely to remain with the Griffins for the immediate future. In six starts with the Griffins, Nedeljkovic

Detroit — The Red Wings hit the halfway mark of their regular season schedule Saturday and in so many ways it typified the first 50% of the schedule. There were highs, lows, moments where they showed promise and improvement, then times where a disgruntled fan could have thought nothing has changed. The 4-3 loss to

Detroit – After consecutive wins over elite teams such as Winnipeg and Toronto, this was unexpected. The Red Wings lost, 4-3, to the last-place Columbus Blue Jackets. Not many people likely thought that was going to happen, given the way the Wings played against the Leafs. But, also as has been the case in these

Detroit — The Red Wings’ top line of Dylan Larkin centering Lucas Raymond and Tyler Bertuzzi has shown offensive chemistry since the beginning of last season, when Raymond arrived in the NHL. Almost instantly, the line became an offensive factor. But there were struggles on the defensive end. And it hasn’t really gotten significantly better

Ted Kulfan previews the Red Wings’ western road trip next week, takes a look at the return to the lineup of Robby Fabbri and Tyler Bertuzzi, and USA Hockey’s Gabe Perreault, Will Smith, and Ryan Leonard are the guests on the OctoPulse podcast.

Detroit — You’d think a player coming off his third ACL knee surgery and not having played an NHL game for about 10 months would take a while to get back into the swing of things. For Robby Fabbri, it hasn’t taken long at all. Fabbri has made a dramatic and immediate impact, Thursday scoring

Detroit − The Red Wings finally have a victory to their credit against the Toronto Maple Leafs. It had been a while, nine consecutive losses and the Wings hadn’t defeated Toronto in regulation since Dec. 15, 2017, but the Wings did it Thursday in nailbiting fashion, 4-1. It was the first victory of any sort
