Detroit − Different type of game, but same frustrating result for the Red Wings. After losing badly to Buffalo on Halloween night, the Wings staged a fine rally Wednesday, forcing overtime, but ultimately lost 5-4 in the shootout. Buffalo’s Jack Quinn was the lone goal scorer in the shootout, clinching the Sabres’ win. David Perron

Detroit — Dylan Larkin is off to a superb start offensively this season. But for coach Derek Lalonde, it’s Larkin’s work on the defensive end, away from the puck, and his commitment to that part of the game that has been such a big factor to the Red Wings’ successful start. Lalonde challenged Larkin in

Detroit — Alex Nedeljkovic has been around pro hockey and played the goalkeeper position long enough that he was even-keeled about the entire situation. Nedeljkovic will start Wednesday against Buffalo, his first start since November 12 in Los Angeles. But there was no added excitement or relief from Nedeljkovic, who understands how goaltending can work

Detroit – There’s little doubt the Toronto Maple Leafs have some world class offensive players, and they certainly showed it Monday against the Red Wings. Many of the Leafs’ stars got on the scoresheet as Toronto rolled to a 4-2 victory over the Red Wings. The loss ended the Wings’ four-game winning streak, while Toronto

Detroit — There’s a definite sense the Red Wings are better, and just one look at the standings will prove that notion correct. Going into Monday’s game, the Wings had a 11-5-4 record (26 points), which was their best 20-game mark since 2010-11 (14-4-2, 30 points). If the playoffs were to begin Monday, yes, the

Detroit — Dylan Larkin was in a good mood Sunday after practice as the media began to stroll into the Red Wings’ locker room. Larkin’s cheerfulness wasn’t surprising. There was, after all, Michigan’s 45-23 victory Saturday over Ohio State, and Larkin being a former Michigan Wolverine. Which also led to Larkin winning a bet with

Detroit — It was one play, but it spoke loudly of what the Red Wings want to be as a hockey team. Filip Hronek was behind his own net Friday when Arizona’s Jack McBain came flying and connected with Hronek near the head area. Not liking what he saw, Michael Rasmussen quickly jumped in and

Detroit — The Red Wings keep stringing together victories. They reached the first-quarter mark of the NHL season Saturday working a little longer, but ultimately defeating the Arizona Coyotes, 4-3, in a shootout. Dylan Larkin scored the lone goal in the shootout, after Arizona had tied the game late in regulation time. Goaltender Ville Husso

Detroit — The Red Wings have missed the playoffs for the last six seasons, and to be sure, there are a variety of reasons why that is. Not enough overall talent is a prime reason. There were seasons where faulty goaltending was an issue, the offense wasn’t dangerous enough, or the overall defense was too

Detroit — When a goaltender has been playing like Ville Husso has, it gives a hockey team a whole new level of confidence. The Wings have had a bit of extra swagger whenever Husso has been in net, just knowing Husso is going to keep the puck out of his net. Husso went above and

Detroit — If the NHL season were to end today, the Red Wings would be in the playoffs. Now, the Wings have 63 games left so the season’s actual end is a long way off. Nobody is getting carried away (well, some on social media are). But after Wednesday’s 3-0 victory over Nashville, the Wings

Detroit — The Red Wings were going to awake Thanksgiving morning either securely in an Eastern Conference playoff spot, if the season were to end, or just a smidgen out of the race. In the NHL, there are plenty of analysts who take the Thanksgiving standings as gospel, and maybe for good reason. Twelve of

Detroit — Coach Derek Lalonde had an opportunity to visit Lions’ training camp last summer but couldn’t do it. Lalonde was still in Tampa getting ready to make the move to Detroit, and had to decline it. Lalonde sure wishes he had, though. The idea of meeting Campbell is exciting. “I’ve liked watching him, his

A third-division soccer club is bringing a new stadium to Madonna University.
