Ted Kulfan | The Detroit News Detroit — It’s never easy to come to a new hockey team, but it’s even more difficult when the goals and assists don’t happen right away. Vladislav Namestnikov was a forward the Red Wings felt could help in a variety of ways when they signed him as a free agent
Helene St. James | Detroit Free Press As much as the Detroit Red Wings have improved parts of their game, one component remains a mess. They’ve earned points in two straight games for the first time this season, but had to settle for a meager one when they lost in overtime, 3-2, Monday to the

Nolan Bianchi | The Detroit News It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish. Or so they say. Unfortunately for the Detroit Red Wings on Monday night, they started hot, ended even hotter, but dropped the comeback attempt when Dominik Kubalik froze Thomas Greiss on a 2-on-1 in overtime as the Chicago Blackhawks escaped with
Helene St. James | Detroit Free Press The Detroit Red Wings played a tight, spirited game against an Original Six rival in their first home game in two weeks. The good vibe they took away from their last road game didn’t last long as a couple breakdowns forced the Wings to play from behind against
Nolan Bianchi | The Detroit News The Detroit Red Wings are home for an extended stay after playing 10 of 12 on the road, and there are probably few who are happier about it than forward Robby Fabbri.

Helene St. James | Detroit Free Press The Detroit Red Wings hope Danny DeKeyser can be an impact player for them again, but it does not sound promising. The veteran defenseman cleared waivers Monday.

Helene St. James | Detroit Free Press A career night for Luke Glendening, waivers for Danny DeKeyser. The Detroit Red Wings begin a new week boosted by a rare victory. But even though Ws have been scarce — they won twice on the six-game road trip — their work ethic has been a positive, as has
Ted Kulfan | The Detroit News The Red Wings team that is returning to Little Caesars Arena on Monday, after completing a six-game road trip, isn’t resembling that one that began this trip.

Ted Kulfan | The Detroit News Detroit — Danny DeKeyser hadn’t been playing, and was recuperating from offseason herniated disk sugery, but you still didn’t see this coming. The Red Wings waived the veteran defenseman Sunday in a somewhat surprising move. DeKeyser, 30, had surgery for a herniated disk early last year, which limited him to only eight games. We’re running
