Maybe it’s simply the number. “We were joking around that it’s something
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Matt Luff stayed on the ice as long as possible for the Detroit Red Wings’ morning skate, an opportunity to savor being called up again.

Detroit — It took Alex Chiasson much of this season to finally land an NHL contract. It might take nearly as long this time around if Chiasson continues to play the way he has been.

Detroit — Like everybody else in this world, the Detroit Red Wings have been waiting for life to settle down a bit. Climbing into a playoff race, being thumped right back out of it, and then trading away several key players at the deadline — the last month has taken an emotional toll. But it
Detroit — Tyler Bertuzzi has been in many games like this at Little Caesars Arena — especially in recent weeks. But as it turns out, even a trade to the NHL’s top team can’t stop him from ending up on the wrong side of the scoreboard. The Detroit Red Wings exploded for three second-period goals

Boston — It was strange seeing Tyler Bertuzzi in a Boston Bruins uniform. It’ll be equally weird Sunday as the Bruins visit Little Caesars Arena, to watch and listen to Bertuzzi being introduced as anything other than a member of the Red Wings. But the Wings and their fans got their first dose of the
Boston — Statistically, in the standings, or to the eye test, the Boston Bruins are the NHL’s best team this season. The Red Wings saw why up close Saturday.
