Ted Kulfan   | The Detroit News They’re hoping this will be the time, Thursday in Carolina. Evgeny Svechnikov, and his brother Andrei, who plays for the Hurricanes, appear set to play against each other for the first time in the NHL. They came close last season, but Evgeny was sent down to Grand Rapids the

Ted Kulfan   | The Detroit News Go ahead and blame Tuesday’s Red Wings’ loss on the retro alternate jerseys. Might as well find something to blame for the 4-1 loss in Columbus. The white jersey, which looked too much like a bland practice jersey to many on social media (and did not go over well), still looked

Ted Kulfan   | The Detroit News Evgeny Svechnikov took advantage of his opportunity last weekend. Now, Michael Rasmussen gets his chance. The Wings recalled Rasmussen from Grand Rapids on Tuesday, given the injuries to centers Dylan Larkin (upper body) and Robby Fabbri (lower body). Fabbri, coach Jeff Blashill said, was a game-time decision Tuesday against Columbus.

Ted Kulfan   | The Detroit News Detroit — The frustration was evident in the actions of Red Wings goaltender Thomas Greiss on Sunday. Head hanging, or looking into the ceiling of United Center after allowing a Chicago goal, Greiss had little chance to make saves against the relentless Blackhawks offensive attack. But the most stark

Ted Kulfan   | The Detroit News Former Red Wings forward Todd Bertuzzi reportedly was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol early Saturday morning in Auburn Hills.

Ted Kulfan   | The Detroit News The Red Wings’ win streak never reached three. It ended at two Sunday, as the Wings lost in Chicago 7-2. The Wings had won two consecutive games Saturday for the first time — and had actually won three of four games — but Chicago rookie goaltender Kevin Lankinen continued

Ted Kulfan   | The Detroit News Evgeny Svechnikov could have done a number of things. Get angry, pout about being demoted again, ask about possibly moving to another team. After being waived — no team claimed Svechnikov — and ultimately sent to minor league affiliate Grand Rapids Griffins, the 2015 first-round pick probably had reason

Ted Kulfan   | The Detroit News No Dylan Larkin, no problem for the Red Wings, at least this one night. With Larkin back in Detroit because of an upper body injury, the Wings persevered without their captain Saturday as they defeated the Chicago Blackhawks, 5-3. Bobby Ryan, Darren Helm, Christian Djoos — on the power

Ted Kulfan   | The Detroit News The Red Wings will be without Dylan Larkin for games Saturday night and Sunday in Chicago.

Ted Kulfan   | The Detroit News Detroit — Whether Bobby Ryan is traded at the deadline, finishes the season here, remains a Red Wing or moves on in the summer — all of it remains to be seen. But it sure sounds like the veteran forward wouldn’t mind staying a Red Wing. The trade deadline

Ted Kulfan   | The Detroit News Detroit — Sam Gagner didn’t score a goal in his first 13 games but made up for lost time Thursday — with a bit of help from Nashville goaltender Pekka Rinne. Gagner scored two seeing-eye goals, then ended things with an empty-net goal, lifting the Red Wings to a 5-2

Ted Kulfan   | The Detroit News Detroit — The Red Wings last season struggled badly to score goals. It was supposed to be better this season, with the maturation of Anthony Mantha, Dylan Larkin, Filip Zadina, Robby Fabbri and Tyler Bertuzzi, and the addition of veterans such as Bobby Ryan, Sam Gagner and Vladislav Namestnikov. But,

Ted Kulfan   | The Detroit News Detroit — Take two hockey teams who’ve had a season-long struggle to win games or score goals and what do you have? A game such as Tuesday’s Red Wings’ game against Nashville, a 2-0 Predators victory that will not be on many highlight shows for its dazzling offense. Nashville
