There was definitely some doubt surrounding forward Tyler Bertuzzi heading into this season. Bertuzzi was coming off back surgery that limited him to nine games, all early in the schedule.

Detroit — Oskar Sundqvist has had a positive impact with the Red Wings since arriving from St. Louis in the trade for Nick Leddy at the trade deadline.

This was another afternoon where the Red Wings had a short memory, which proved beneficial for them.

The NHL playoffs begin May 2 and there appears to be one certainty. Whichever team gets the pleasure of facing the Florida Panthers is going to have a difficult time winning four of seven games in a series. It’s simply not going to be easy. The Red Wings saw first-hand how formidable the Eastern Conference-leading

This late in the season, it’s becoming clearer that defenseman Moritz Seider appears to be a slam-dunk choice to win the Calder Trophy. Given to the NHL’s rookie of the year, Seider has gradually pulled away with his stellar play. But teammate Lucas Raymond shouldn’t be easily forgotten. The rookie forward will almost certainly be
