It has been a tough stretch, as their six-point deficit on a wild-card spot has become a double-digit chasm, but the Wings have progressed too much this season to let that slide precipitate a collapse over their final 26 games. “We
The Red Wings on Sunday claimed defenseman Olli Juolevi off waivers from the Florida Panthers and assigned forward Joe Veleno to the minor-league affiliate Grand Rapids Griffins.

Detroit — It was a quirk in the schedule — not often possible, but one that occurred and was expected to sting the Red Wings. And, it did.

TAMPA, Fla. — Scotty Bowman likes to tell about the time he traded for Larry Murphy: It was 10 minutes before the deadline, and the Detroit Red Wings wanted to strengthen their lineup for a Stanley Cup run. “I was on the phone with Cliff Fletcher,” Bowman said Friday. “We didn’t have much time to
