Elmont, N.Y. — A reporter in Montreal likely looked at raw numbers and asked Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde an innocent-enough question. Sure, maybe some of defenseman Moritz Seider’s statistics are down from last season’s NHL Calder Trophy-winning season as rookie of the year, and early this season, maybe the impact on the ice wasn’t

MONTREAL — Chants of “Let’s go, Red Wings,” came from just outside the visitors locker room at Bell Centre, where happy dads celebrated a good start to their trip. The Detroit Red Wings won a second straight game, the first step to doing what they have talked about so much over the past month: Go
We hear from coach Derek Lalonde after his Red Wings win their second straight in overtime. #LGRW
Montreal − The Red Wings have been talking much recently about stringing some victories together. To get into the playoffs, to stay within distance of the playoffs, they’re going to have to pile victories together post-All-Star break. No better way to begin a streak like that this week, on the Fathers’ Trip, and go into
MONTREAL — For all they did to make their dads cheer, the Detroit Red Wings made it difficult on themselves. It began well enough Thursday at Centre Bell when the Wings built an early lead on the Montreal Canadiens, but neither the first nor the second nor the third one built much momentum. It wasn’t

Montreal — It sort of typifies Tyler Bertuzzi’s season, somewhat, that it sure looked for a couple of days as if Bertuzzi was going to return to the Red Wings’ lineup Thursday, but after the morning skate, there suddenly was some question. The lower-body injury Bertuzzi has maybe wasn’t quite 100% just yet. “We’ll see,”
MONTREAL — Even as they enjoy a family side of their job, the business side lingers for Detroit Red Wings forwards Dylan Larkin and Tyler Bertuzzi. Each had their dads along for the quick trip that segued from Thursday’s outing at the Montreal Canadiens to Friday’s at the New York Islanders. The other men playing
Kevin Larkin took in the Detroit Red Wings’ optional practice seated next to his son, Dylan, in the stands at Little Caesars Arena, happy to be back on a fathers trip. Larkin’s dad was among the most experienced participants as the Wings renewed a tradition that had been annual until the coronavirus pandemic disrupted everything.
Detroit — In a way Joe Veleno’s dad Tony is getting shortchanged. These next two games on the Red Wings’ schedule is the annual dad/mentor trip, in Montreal (Thursday) and Long Island (Friday), as the Wings’ traveling party gets larger and noisier. But for Tony Veleno, along with David Perron’s dad Francois, both of them
Maybe this was never going to be the season the Detroit Red Wings reached the NHL playoffs and ended a postseason drought going on seven seasons. There was hope, of course, with new coach Derek Lalonde and his mandate to improve the risk in the team’s game. There’s certainly evidence, if you look hard enough,
Derek Lalonde didn’t want to waste throwing a fit, and as it turned out, he ended up singing Michael Rasmussen’s praises. The Detroit Red Wings head off on a quick little trip before the All-Star break feeling good about themselves after celebrating a 3-2 overtime victory over the San Jose Sharks Tuesday at Little Caesars
Detroit — The surest sign you’re starting to carve out a niche for yourself as an NHL player is when your teammates start dropping your name. Not so much to the media, either, but rather to the coaches. And so it is for the Red Wings’ Michael Rasmussen these days, midway through what looks to
