Pittsburgh — The present was the big news topic when general manager Steve Yzerman talked after last Monday’s trade deadline, but the future was also discussed and relevant. Mainly, because of the rapid development of two prime Red Wings prospects, defenseman Simon Edvinsson and forward Elmer Soderblom. Yzerman has been pleased with the development of both
Royal Oak — There was a time when Claude Lemieux was widely considered the most-hated man in hockey, and whenever he visited Detroit in the mid-1990s, somehow, the hostility felt even worse. There were death threats and police escorts to and from Joe Louis Arena; the Colorado Avalanche wouldn’t even give him a hotel roommate
Detroit — Sometimes games can be decided to the simplest level, and Saturday’s Red Wings game was one of those afternoons.

Detroit — Like everyone else that evening Jeff Blashill was watching. The Red Wings’ coach was hanging out with friends, watching his favorite team, the Red Wings, face the hated Colorado Avalanche on March 26, 1997. Blashill and other Wings fans had lived through so many playoff disappointments, watching Colorado win a Stanley Cup, and
Detroit — In a way, some of the younger Red Wings are heading into final exam time. There’s been a lot of lessons learned during the regular season, but now as they head into these final 18 games, it’s a good opportunity to show what they’ve learned. There won’t be any playoffs for the Red
All these years later, the epic “Fight Night at The Joe” has proven to be a modestly profitable enterprise for Darren McCarty and Claude Lemieux. McCarty, the Red Wings’ popular enforcer, and Lemieux, the Colorado Avalanche star scorer, will be together again Saturday night in Royal Oak, holding a 25th-anniversary watch party and fan question-and-answer session
Elmont, N.Y. — The Red Wings’ first trip into the sparking UBS Arena — and this place sure isn’t the relic that was Nassau Coliseum — wasn’t memorable.

Elmont, N.Y. — The coincidence was incredible, and Red Wings forward Chase Pearson knew it right away. His dad Scott Pearson played 292 games over a 12-year NHL career that ended with two games played with the New York Islanders during the 1999-2000 season. On Thursday, at the Islanders’ new home at UBS Arena, Chase Pearson was

It’s been a hectic arrival for Sundqivist, who scored an empty-net goal and assisted on Tyler Bertuzzi’s empty-netter in Tuesday’s 6-3 victory over Philadelphia.
