New York, N.Y. — Sure enough, it felt different Thursday for defenseman Marc Staal returning to Madison Square Garden. Staal played 13 seasons for the New York Rangers before being traded to the Red Wings ahead of the 2020-21 season. Because of the pandemic, and the resulting scheduling differences, Thursday was Staal’s first trip back to New
NEW YORK — The Detroit Red Wings anticipate a “massive boost” to their lineup within the next couple weeks. Top-line forward Jakub Vrana, who hasn’t played since last season, has taken the next step in his comeback from shoulder surgery. “He’s getting closer,” coach Jeff Blashill said Thursday. “We’re in a spot where we’ll start
The first NHL game Lucas Raymond attended was at Madison Square Garden in New York. It was a cool experience, but not nearly as cool as the one that awaits at the historic venue Thursday. The Detroit Red Wings take on the New York Rangers there in a match that pits two of the top picks
Detroit — Funny how NHL Entry Drafts work. In 2020, every team was angling and hoping to get that first pick overall and select forward Alexis Lafreniere, a much-hyped junior out of Quebec. The Wings had the worst record, by far, before COVID-19 arrived on the scene and prematurely ended the regular season. Though having the
The Detroit Red Wings look to make up for lost opportunities in New York after failing to edge closer to a playoff spot in Minnesota. Captain Dylan Larkin sounded as disappointed as he looked after Monday’s loss, when the Wings squandered four power plays before pulling within a goal. Their desperation led them to gamble on
Pittsburgh — Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby is the latest member of the NHL’s 500-goal club. Crosby reached the mark with a power-play goal in the first period of Tuesday night’s game against Philadelphia. Crosby is the 46th player in NHL history to reach the 500-goal plateau and the 18th to do it with one franchise.

Detroit — Again, there are lessons to be learned to bridge the gap the Red Wings are encountering between a team on the rise and one that is a bona fide playoff team. Monday’s 7-4 loss in Minnesota, a Wild team that is firmly in the playoff chase and could be a contender to win the
ST. PAUL, Minn — The Detroit Red Wings left Xcel Energy Center at a disadvantage. They didn’t get any points to bank toward their playoff hopes and could lay much of the blame for the 7-4 loss to the Minnesota Wild on special teams. The Wings wasted four power play opportunities before converting, and by

St. Paul, Minnesota — This game sure did start well for the Red Wings, but gradually, not so much. Then it came back a little bit, the Wings made it interesting, but ultimately, a tough loss. Minnesota rookie Matt Boldy, an alumni of the Plymouth Township-based United States National Team Development Program, earned his first
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Two goals the first four minutes and a late charge didn’t add up to much for the Detroit Red Wings. Their attempt to stoke their post-All Star break momentum was thwarted by the Minnesota Wild Monday at XCel Energy Center with a 7-4 loss. The Wings (22-22-6) were let down by special
