TAMPA, Fla. — The Detroit Red Wings measured up to an elite opponent, and got their head coach a victory in his former home. They put on a good start and a resilient finish Tuesday at Amalie Arena against the Tampa Bay Lightning, a team that has been to the Stanley Cup Final the last
Tampa – The homecoming couldn’t have come out better for Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde. Returning to the arena where Lalonde was part of a coaching staff that won Stanley Cups and just missed a third, and matching wits against friends Lightning coach Jon Cooper and assistant Jeff Blashill (who Lalonde replaced with the Wings),
Tampa, Fla. — Jon Cooper is good friends with Derek Lalonde and Jeff Blashill. Lalonde and now Blashill have been assistant coaches under Cooper, the two-time Stanley Cup-winning Tampa Bay Lightning head coach. When Lalonde replaced Blashill as head coach of the Red Wings, Cooper wasted little time contacting Blashill and gauging Blashill’s interest in
TAMPA, Fla. — Jon Cooper spotted Jeff Blashill talking to Detroit media and played a little air violin, poking fun at his longtime friend. Tuesday’s game between the Detroit Red Wings and Tampa Bay Lightning at Amalie Arena was heavy on reunions: It was Blashill’s first game as an assistant coach with the Lightning against
TAMPA, Fla. — This week will be revealing for the Detroit Red Wings.

Tampa, Fla. — It seemed like old times to a certain extent. Jeff Blashill addressing the media, talking about hockey. But then you noticed the Tampa Bay Lightning gear, and Blashill isn’t the head coach in Tampa, he’s an assistant on Jon Cooper’s staff and was essentially filling in for Cooper Monday afternoon. Also, knowing
It didn’t take long to notice the Blue Jackets’ focus wasn’t sharp Sunday in a 4-2 loss to the Detroit Red Wings at Nationwide Arena. Marcus Bjork, a rookie defenseman, got the puck during his first shift and attempted an exit pass from deep in his own zone. He then watched in horror as the
This was not how the Blue Jackets wanted to return from an uplifting road victory in Winnipeg. Rather than building on that game Sunday, they lost 4-2 to the Detroit Red Wings at Nationwide Arena in a game controlled by the visitors most of the night. Detroit took a 2-0 lead in the first period, pushed
We hear from coach Derek Lalonde after his Red Wings bounce back nicely from Saturday’s 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights. #LGRW
Columbus — Usually playing a second game in two nights doesn’t prove successful for teams. There’s often travel involved, that much hockey in 48 hours (or less) is tough on the body, and things seem to get compounded when you’re the road team. But bring it on, say the Red Wings. For the third time
Playing an opponent outside the playoff picture was just what the Detroit Red Wings needed to find the win column again. They improved to 3-0 this season when playing on the road the day after a home game, using their power play to dispatch the Columbus Blue Jackets, 4-2, Sunday at Nationwide Arena. Multiple players
