Back in January when THW released a new top-25 Detroit Red Wings prospects ranking, the top two players were, perhaps unsurprisingly, the team’s top picks in the 2021 draft (Simon Edvinsson) and the 2022 draft (Marco Kasper).

It’s official, Marco Kasper has been recalled from his loan to Rögle BK of the SHL and is returning to Detroit. The 2022 eighth overall pick’s SHL season recently concluded after a hard-fought playoff run by both Kasper and fellow Red Wings prospect William Wallinder, and Wallinder signed his entry-level contract (ELC) shortly thereafter. However,

In recent weeks, Detroit Red Wings prospects Simon Edvinsson, William Wallinder, Carter Mazur, and Marco Kasper have gotten all the attention. Detroit called up Edvinsson, and Mazur and Wallinder signed entry-level contracts. But there’s another player in the Red Wings’ prospect pipeline who deserves more recognition. That’s Amadeus Lombardi – the steal of the 2022

On Nov. 26, 2022, veteran NHL forward Alex Chiasson signed a one-year deal with the Grand Rapids Griffins of the American Hockey League (AHL).

The Detroit Red Wings currently have a slim chance of making the playoffs this season, but that chance should completely evaporate in the next week or so. It is unfortunate given how much chatter there was in the offseason about the team taking the next step and becoming a legitimate playoff threat. Despite a number

The Detroit Red Wings have had a year of mixed results in 2022-23. As a result of this, they traded Tyler Bertuzzi, Filip Hronek, Oskar Sundqvist, and Jakub Vrana before the deadline passed.

After rookie goaltender Joel Hofer’s 3-0 “shutout” (he left the ice for 14 seconds to get a skate blade repaired) against the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday, the St. Louis Blues are riding a two-game winning streak and have a 5-4-0 record in March. Hofer stopped all 33 shots and saved 63 of 65 total shots

In the last few weeks, Detroit Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman has dished out three contract extensions, including: In doing so, Yzerman checked off a few important items from his offseason to-do list.
