The Detroit Red Wings made the selection of Dylan Larkin as team captain on January 13, 2021; he was a natural selection for the role in many ways. He was the team’s leading scorer and grew up in the area, so he understands what it means to wear the Winged Wheel. After completing his first

Just like that, another season is in the books…..for the Detroit Red Wings at least. In a season where most of the chatter coming out of “Hockeytown” centered around the team’s rookies, the Red Wings saw varying levels of performance from each and every one of their players. For general manager Steve Yzerman, his staff,
Now that the Detroit Red Wings’ 2021-22 season has come to a close, everyone’s eyes will be on the future. Who will come to Detroit and who will go? What prospects will get to make the leap to the NHL? The questions one can ask are endless but there is one burning question that was
The Detroit Red Wings missed the playoffs in 2021-22, making it the sixth straight year they’ve been on the outside looking in when postseason hockey comes around. That is the second-longest that the team has ever gone without making the playoffs (they missed seven straight times from 1970-71 until 1976-77). Everyone knows that the Red
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, and Kyle Knopp are the muckers who make up THW’s forechecking
Over the weekend, the Detroit Red Wings parted ways with coach Jeff Blashill. Not enough was accomplished during the 2021-22 season to warrant bringing back Blashill for another season. That said, the Red Wings are a better team than a year ago. Digging into the data can help us determine how much the team has
With the NHL’s regular-season finishing on Friday night (except for a rescheduled match between the Winnipeg Jets and the Seattle Kraken on Sunday), fans of every NHL team have something to look forward to over the next few weeks. Sure, some of those fans have the playoffs to look ahead to, which is cool and
In his first full season with the Detroit Red Wings, Pius Suter solidified himself as a very dependable player on the second line. There has also been an influx of new talent on the roster, especially with the additions of cornerstone rookies Moritz Seider, Lucas Raymond, and Alex Nedeljkovic. With more roster changes sure to
On day one of the Detroit Red Wings’ 2022 offseason, general manager Steve Yzerman wasted no time and reshaped the team in a big way. Yzerman announced Saturday afternoon that the organization would not renew the contract of head coach Jeff Blashill, as well as assistant coach Doug Houda and goaltending coach Jeff Selajko. Prior
Welcome back to Red Wings Wednesday Weekly! In this weekly column, we will take a look at the Red Wings’ most-recent week of play, identify any players and/or trends that stood out, and then look ahead and find out what the next week may have in store for the team from Hockeytown. As always, feel
One of the greatest weaknesses for the Detroit Red Wings this season has been the lack of legitimate top-four talent on the left side of their defensive corps, but that will soon be changing. Moritz Seider looks like an absolute star in the making as the leader of the right side of their defence for
Heading into the 2022 Trade Deadline, it seemed like a sure thing that Detroit Red Wings defenseman Nick Leddy would be changing addresses. What wasn’t as obvious was what the return would be from the team acquiring him. Well, as all of “Hockeytown” knows by now, the return from the St. Louis Blues included a
In the final week of the Detroit Red Wings’ 2021-22 season, things are starting to shift. While there are plenty of players on the roster right now that are playing with something to prove, wandering eyes are starting to look ahead to the offseason and the 2022-23 season. A losing season tends to have the
Detroit Red Wings prospect Elmer Soderblom has been tearing up the ice in the Swedish Hockey League (SHL) throughout the 2021-22 season. Currently playing for Frolunda HC, Soderblom has been a pleasant surprise this season, as his name pops up in discussion nearly as frequently as that of Simon Edvinsson — his teammate and fellow
Next man up is a way of life in pro sports. When a player goes down with an injury, it provides an opportunity for somebody else to step in and showcase their skills. Recently, Detroit Red Wings captain and top-line center Dylan Larkin was lost for the rest of the season after undergoing muscle core
In today’s NHL rumors rundown, chatter has increased when it comes to Evander Kane and how likely it is that the Edmonton Oilers find a way to keep him after this season. Meanwhile, can the Calgary Flames find a way to sign both Johnny Gaudreau and Matthew Tkachuk? There are rumors coming out of Detroit
Considering that they currently average 3.79 goals-against per game, it makes sense that the Detroit Red Wings brought it upon themselves to take a look at their goaltending situation. What maybe doesn’t make as much sense is how they went about addressing it. With just a month left in the season, Red Wings general manager
Welcome back to Red Wings Wednesday Weekly! In this weekly column, we will take a look at the Red Wings’ most-recent week of play, identify any players and/or trends that stood out, and then look ahead and find out what the next week may have in store for the team from Hockeytown. As always, feel
Filip Zadina was drafted by the Detroit Red Wings sixth overall in the 2018 NHL Draft and was expected to be a strong top-six forward and consistent goal-scorer when he made it to the NHL. Unfortunately, this expectation has not been met in his four seasons as a Red Wing. In the 2021-22 season alone,
Moritz Seider has the opportunity to accomplish something that no Detroit Red Wings player has done since the Original Six era: Win the Calder Trophy. That’s right – the last Red Wings player to take home the NHL’s rookie-of-the-year award was goaltender Roger Crozier in 1965. Since then, a few have come close. Steve Yzerman
