Detroit — The Red Wings are going to have an unexpected day off Monday. The National Hockey League announced Friday that it has extended the period of game postponements for three teams, including the Colorado Avalanche, who were expected to play at Little Caesars Arena against the Wings. But due to concern with the number of positive

Raleigh, N.C. — The Red Wings knew the Carolina Hurricanes would be a challenge Thursday night despite the Hurricanes’ issues with COVID-19. But this much? The Hurricanes didn’t have six regulars, but showed plenty of spunk and determination (and organizational depth) defeating the Wings 5-3. Goalie Alex Nedeljkovic, making an unsuccessful return to Carolina, allowed two

Raleigh, N.C. — There was doubt and trepidation, but the Red Wings and Carolina Hurricanes have been deemed safe and able to play. When the Hurricanes had no new COVID positive tests Thursday morning — they were scheduled for one more round before the game — it clinched the fact the game would be played. The Red Wings are

Associated Press The Boston Bruins placed forwards Anton Blidh and Trent Frederic and goalie Jeremy Swayman in the NHL’s COVID-19 protocol on Thursday.

Detroit — It appears the Red Wings will play at the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night. The Hurricanes have been ravaged by COVID-19, with six players and a staff member in protocol. Their game Tuesday in Minnesota was postponed because of the situation. But the Wings suddenly have players of their own with COVID issues. Just

Detroit — Again, a return to Little Caesars Arena proved to be the cure the Red Wings needed to right all their ills. Returning home with a three-game losing streak — including two lackluster losses in St. Louis and Colorado — the Wings looked like a different team Tuesday while defeating the New York Islanders, 2-1. The

Associated Press NHL MVP Connor McDavid calls the idea of potentially having to quarantine for up to five weeks in China following a positive COVID-19 test “unsettling” as the NHL’s participation at the 2022 Winter Games remains up in the air.

Detroit — From the sound of it, Robby Fabbri didn’t really want to go anywhere else. The Red Wings are his team, now, and there was no desire to see if anything else was out there after this season. So Fabbri was excited to sign the three-year extension worth $12 million ($4 million salary cap hit)

Detroit — Robby Fabbri is going to remain with the Red Wings after this season. Fabbri, who could have been an unrestricted free agent next summer, signed a three-year contract extension Monday night with an average annual value (salary cap hit) of $4 million ($12 million total).

Detroit — Tyler Bertuzzi returned to practice Monday, off the COVID protocol list and looking forward to playing hockey again. But, one thing hasn’t changed: Despite being one of the few reported players who is unvaccinated, and now having had the virus, Bertuzzi isn’t changing his stance. No vaccination for him. “Natural immunity, now,” said Bertuzzi, who

Associated Press New York — The NHL has postponed the Calgary Flames’ next three games after six players and a staff member entered the league’s COVID-19 protocol over a 24-hour period. The Flames announced Monday that forwards Elias Lindholm, Andrew Mangiapane, Brad Richardson and Adam Ruzicka and defensemen Chris Tanev and Nikita Zadorov were in the protocol.

Detroit — How would the Red Wings respond? That’s what captain Dylan Larkin wanted to know after the Wings were trounced by the Nashville Predators at Little Caesars Arena, then headed out for a 48-hour road trip to St. Louis and Colorado. The look on Larkin’s face and the dejection in his voice after Friday’s 7-3 blowout loss

Denver – The Colorado Avalanche are a powerful offensive team, the best scoring team in the NHL, and for an opponent, there is no better team to test yourself defensively. The Red Wings had their opportunity Friday, lost 7-3, and came away knowing there’s a lot of work to do defensively. “It was a litmus

Denver —This short, but difficult road trip wasn’t kind to the Red Wings. Detroit (13-12-3) lost its third consecutive game, and went winless through the two-game journey to St. Louis and Colorado after Friday’s 7-3 loss to the Avalanche. In those three losses, they’ve allowed 18 goals while being outscored 18-7. In both St. Louis and Colorado — as well

Denver — The Red Wings aren’t winning many games on the road. They won’t win many if they continue to play like they did Thursday in a 6-2 loss to the St. Louis Blues. The Wings struggled in several areas. Most disappointing was their inability to get to the Blues’ net and create havoc i

St. Louis — They’re one team at Little Caesars Arena, competitive and winning hockey games, but the Red Wings are another one away from their home rink. The Wings lost for the ninth time in 13 games (4-8-1) Thursday away from LCA, falling 6-2 to the St. Louis Blues. The Wings (13-11-3) had good stretches of play

St. Louis — Last season was a strange experience for everyone in the NHL, with the pandemic raging and a long list of measures taken to keep everyone safe and healthy. Vladislav Namestnikov joined a new team, the Red Wings, making things doubly difficult. “Last year was just a weird year,” Namestnikov said after Thursday’s morning
