Detroit — Goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic is headed to Grand Rapids to get in some work. The Red Wings assigned Nedeljkovic to their minor-league affiliate Wednesday, after the slumping goaltender made only two starts since Nov. 30, the last one on Dec. 8 (which was also Nedeljkovic’s last appearance). Nedeljkovic, 26, has played in nine games

Detroit — Hearing about, and watching the disturbing incident involving Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin, brought back difficult memories for two Red Wings players. Oskar Sundqvist and David Perron were on the St. Louis Blues when Blues defenseman Jay Bouwmeester had a sudden cardiac arrest on the bench on Feb. 11, 2020. “Scary,” said Sundqvist,

Detroit — The Red Wings had to make a roster decision to get under the 23-man limit for Wednesday’s game, and it was a stunner. The Wings placed forward Jakub Vrana on waivers Tuesday afternoon, just a little over two weeks after Vrana returned from a two-month stay in the NHL/NHLPA players assistance program. Vrana,

Detroit — The drama and intrigue surrounding the Red Wings’ roster, and the decisions that need to be made, continued after Monday’s practice, with the situation not getting significantly clearer. There was one bit of news that will impact the lineup at some point, but not this week. Forward Jakub Vrana will stay in Grand

Ted Kulfan takes a look at the Red Wings in 2023 heading into Wednesday’s game against the Devils and USA Hockey goalie Annelies Bergmann is the interview guest. Here are highlights from episode 82 of OctoPulse, taking the pulse of the Red Wings’ rebuild: 1:30: Jakub Vrana, Robby Fabbri expected to return against the Devils

Detroit — Organizations, or coaching staffs, like the idea of having to make difficult lineup or roster choices. Often, it means there are more quality players than there are spots in the lineup. The Wings, it appears, are going to have to make some awfully tough ones in the days ahead. It’s going to be

Detroit – What the New Year holds remains to be seen, but the Red Wings certainly had an enjoyable New Year’s Eve. It didn’t start off great, but a three-goal flurry in just 1 minute, 55 seconds in the third period sent the Wings to a 4-2 victory over Ottawa. Trailing 2-1, the Wings received

Detroit — The Red Wings are about to get injured players returning to their lineup, which is a good thing given the caliber of these players. Jakub Vrana (NHL/NHLPA players assistance program) and Robby Fabbri (knee surgery) are slated to return Wednesday when the Wings play host to New Jersey. Then, Filip Zadina (foot) and

Detroit — There was something Dominik Kubalik, and the Red Wings, could pull from the wreckage of Thursday’s 6-3 loss in Buffalo. Scoring two goals within 1 minute 49 seconds was nice, especially when the puck hasn’t been going into the net for Kubalik as it had been earlier in the season. But the goals

It’s a tough time to be a Detroit sports fan. Much like the midtown and downtown areas of the city, the professional teams are going through their respective renaissance rebuilds — and, well, waiting for that feels like waiting for the road construction on I-75 and I-275 to finish. As we get ready to turn

Buffalo − The Red Wings almost did it again. They fell behind by a large margin, staged a furious rally, but this time fell a bit short Thursday, as the Buffalo Sabres defeated the Wings 6-3. Buffalo led 5-0 after two periods before the Wings roared back to cut the deficit to 5-3 on two

Buffalo, N.Y. — Derek Lalonde doesn’t hide his feelings about western New York. The Red Wings’ coach was born in upstate New York, has a lot of family and friends in the area, and of course loves the Buffalo Bills. So it’s always special when the Red Wings play here, Thursday for the second time

Pittsburgh − The Red Wings looked like a hockey team that had not played a game in a week early in Wednesday’s game against the Pittsburgh Penguins. But gradually they found their legs, competed harder, and eventually rallied for a stirring 5-4 overtime victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Jake Walman won it in overtime, his

Pittsburgh — Goaltender Ville Husso was scheduled to make his 24th start of the season Wednesday in Pittsburgh. That’s 24 games in 33 games total for the Wings, a heavy workload for a still relatively inexperienced and unproven goaltender finding his way in the NHL. But Husso insists he’s doing fine physically. He’s enjoying it.
