Detroit — Jakub Vrana was visibly excited, and for good reason. Vrana was scheduled to make his season debut for the Red Wings on Tuesday against the Arizona Coyotes after a long, difficult season. Vrana injured his shoulder 10 minutes into his first training camp practice, which ultimately led to surgery. After approximately five months of grueling

Detroit — Jakub Vrana is nearing a return to the Red Wings’ lineup, which necessitates a corresponding move. On Monday afternoon, the Wings made it, placing defenseman Danny DeKeyser on waivers — on his birthday no less. DeKeyser, 32, cleared waivers multiple times last season. DeKeyser is in the final two months of a six-year contract worth $30

The Red Wings on Sunday claimed defenseman Olli Juolevi off waivers from the Florida Panthers and assigned forward Joe Veleno to the minor-league affiliate Grand Rapids Griffins.

Detroit — It was a quirk in the schedule — not often possible, but one that occurred and was expected to sting the Red Wings. And, it did. When the Wings began this last stretch of seven games, they were about to play seven of the top eight teams in the overall NHL standings. Since then, Minnesota has

The hockey season is over for the Michigan State Spartans after an 8-0 loss against the Michigan Wolverines in the Big Ten quarterfinals in front of 5,429 fans at Yost Arena in Ann Arbor on Saturday. Michigan (27-9-1) won the best-of-three series 2-0 to improve to 6-0 against MSU this year. Captain Nick Blankenburg was

You knew this might be an awfully difficult evening, and it certainly was for the Red Wings. On the back end of a two-game trip to Florida, against two great teams, the final game on a seven-game stretch against seven elite teams — well, it all culminated in a 6-2 Red Wings’ loss in Florida against

If a hockey team doesn’t shoot the puck, it obviously limits its chances of winning a game. Because, well, the puck never reaches the net in the first place to even have a chance of getting past the opposing goaltender. Pretty basic stuff. But so, so true. The Red Wings lost 3-1 Friday in Tampa

The Red Wings gave another Stanley Cup contender all sort of fits Friday, but this time came up short. The Wings went into Tampa Friday and lost 3-1 to the two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Lightning. Tampa defenseman Mikhail Sergachev, on the power play, scored his fourth goal of the season at 10:21 of the third

The NHL is creeping toward one of the biggest days on the calendar in the estimation of many fans — the trade deadline. This year, it’s March 21, as teams finalize their rosters for the stretch run, and playoffs, with teams that don’t have post-season hopes usually trading away veterans on expiring contracts in an

ON TODAY’S PODCAST: EPISODE 67 Ted Kulfan takes a look at the Red Wings’ historic 10-7 loss against the Maple Leafs and the team radio analyst Paul Woods is the guest on this week’s podcast. Woods talks about the Wings-Leafs’ highest-scoring game in the NHL in 11 years, Moritz Seider’s runaway Calder Trophy candidacy, Lucas Raymond’s

Detroit — All hockey teams aspire to have four competitive lines that can drive the play, have different strengths, and wear down opposing teams. The Red Wings are inching toward that sort of lineup. They had multiple lines score in Tuesday’s 4-3 overtime victory over Carolina — as they did in Saturday’s loss to Toronto — and appear

Detroit — Michael Rasmussen was a prolific goal scorer in junior hockey, as most NHL players were. Rasmussen has found the ability to score goals in the pros more difficult, as most probably expected it to be for the 6-foot-6, 210-pound forward who was a man among boys in junior, but struggled with the speed and
