Filip Zadina has been playing more like a guy who wants to stay where he is. Zadina has been given an opportunity to play with Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin during exhibition season, a spot that guarantees good minutes. Coach Jeff Blashill described Zadina’s play in Wednesday’s 4-2 loss at the Columbus Blue Jackets
Detroit —The Red Wings soundly defeated a minor league-laden Columbus roster last week in preseason action. In Wednesday’s exhibition game, the Blue Jackets dressed a more regular-season roster and the gained revenge, defeating the Red Wings 4-2 in Columbus. “For sure they had a good lineup,” forward Filip Zadina said. “I don’t know if they

Detroit — Givani Smith’s position on the Red Wings’ roster is likely secure. He is out of options, so if the team was to waive him, he’d likely be picked up by another team for nothing. Smith, 23, signed a two-year contact worth $1.5 million ($750,000 salary cap hit) during the offseason, a sign of the Wings’ faith
Jalen Smereck already felt like a stranger in a strange land. The last couple of months spent living in Ukraine were quite understandably a culture shock for the 24-year-old Detroit native. For example, Smereck, who is Black, says he can count on one hand the number of faces he has seen that look like his around
Detroit — It’s the exhibition season. These games don’t count in the standings, and teams often are playing different lineups — waves of players who aren’t going to play in the NHL, and veterans are still getting into shape. All that is understood. But no one can deny the Red Wings’ power play has been looking good in these warm-up
Lucas Raymond is making it awfully hard for the Detroit Red Wings not to have him on their opening roster. He has used three exhibition games to lead the team in scoring, with two goals and four assists. He looks dangerous when he has the puck, poised to make something good happen with it. That
Detroit — Lucas Raymond is making it difficult for the Red Wings to keep him off the opening-night roster next week. The rookie continued his torrid pace Monday in the exhibition season with a goal and assist — and many more good plays — in the Wings’ 6-4 loss to Chicago. The Wings scored all four
The Detroit Red Wings did something they’ve rarely done in the past couple seasons: Look dangerous on the power play. Their Monday contest against the Chicago Blackhawks at Little Caesars Arena was only an exhibition game, but for a team looking for confidence, seeing the puck go in three times was a good boost.

There’s no shortage of praise for Detroit Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman and what he has been able to do at the NHL Draft. He’s made some huge steals and moves that upset the expert rankings. In the 2021 offseason, he took Sebastian Cossa of the Edmonton Oil Kings 15th overall instead of Jesper
Detroit — Tyler Bertuzzi wasn’t in the Red Wings’ lineup for Monday’s exhibition game against the Chicago Blackhawks, and it’s unclear whether he’ll play in any of the three remaining exhibition games. Returning from back surgery, which essentially cost him all of last season, it would be good to have Bertuzzi play a warm-up game or two. But the
What’s The Grind Line? Apart from the once-famous line of Kris Draper, Kirk Maltby, and either Joe Kocur or Darren McCarty, The Grind Line is also The Hockey Writers’ weekly column about the Detroit Red Wings. This week Tony Wolak, Devin Little, Patrick Brown, Kyle Knopp, and Jeff Middleton are the muckers who make up
Alex Nedeljkovic’s numbers after two preseason appearances aren’t great, but there’s no concern he won’t be at his best when it counts. Nedeljkovic gave up four goals on 23 shots as the Detroit Red Wings lost, 5-1, Sunday afternoon to the Pittsburgh Penguins at PPG Paints Arena, their first loss in four exhibition games. Nedeljkovic,
The Red Wings aren’t going to win every exhibition game this preseason after all. Pittsburgh made sure of that with a 5-1 victory Sunday over the Wings at PPG Paints Arena, ending the Wings’ three-game win streak. Pius Suter (power play) scored on a two-man advantage at 15:46 of the first period. Otherwise it was the Penguins
One of the talking points at the Detroit Red Wings‘ training camp is that this is as competitive as they have looked for several years. General manager Steve Yzerman has, in a little more than two years, put his mark on almost the whole team: He has either acquired (via trade, free agency or draft), re-signed every player — or, in
Detroit — Dylan Larkin made his return to the Red Wings lineup Saturday a successful one. Playing in his first game since April 20, when he took a crosscheck to the neck area, Larkin had two power-play goals and an assist leading the Wings to a 5-1 exhibition victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets. Larkin referenced Will Ferrell’s
Dylan Larkin made a welcome return to the Detroit Red Wings‘ lineup and a new addition made sure the score added up to another victory. Only so much should be read into exhibition games — they’re an evaluation tool as much as anything — but the Wings are finding ways to score, and that’s a good
