The Latest on WIIM’s Status My intent is to continue running this site through the end of March. That might mean things are slightly different than they are now. I don’t know if we’re going to have the same level of coverage. I plan to continue to have Quick Hits posts, gamethreads, and something resembling
The Detroit Red Wings have been without Robby Fabbri for the last three games after he sustained an injury during the team’s win over the Chicago Blackhawks over a week ago. He has been off the ice dealing with a lower-body injury after leaving the contest early against the Blackhawks. The Detroit Red Wings were
In the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, the Detroit Red Wings selected Swedish defenseman Simon Edvinsson, another larger and more physical defender, to join the future of the organization. Edvinsson stands 6-foot-6 and weighs in at 216 pounds. He’s likely to join the Detroit Red Wings in 2023-24 and be another sturdy and large defender like
The Detroit Red Wings had a lightly attended practice Thursday, using the benefit of some breathing room between games to let players with bumps and bruises heal. One guy, though, who won’t be back right away is defenseman Ben Chiarot. “Ben’s been dealing with something upper-body,” coach Derek Lalonde said Thursday. “He might be in
Detroit — One thing the Red Wings don’t need the remainder of this season is injuries, but they’re beginning to deal with multiple ones as the schedule winds down. Already without forward Robby Fabbri (lower-body), coach Derek Lalonde said defenseman Ben Chiarot is considered week-to-week as he deals with an upper-body injury. “Ben has been
Finding a top center needs to be the main priority for general manager Steve Yzerman and the Detroit Red Wings before the start of next season. Before you start screaming at your device, I am okay with Dylan Larkin as Detroit’s top center, but it takes two. It seems half of the Red Wings fan
The Detroit Red Wings have not kept the same goaltending duo from one season to the next since Jimmy Howard and Jonathan Bernier were the team’s duo during the 2018-19 and 2019-20 campaigns. That fact is a sobering reminder that goaltending has not been a source of consistency for the Red Wings since general manager
What better way to throw a birthday party for Vladimir Konstantinov than at a hockey game? There will be some familiar faces on hand for Konstantinov’s 56th birthday, part of which he will spend dropping the puck for the ceremonial opening faceoff for the Detroit Red Wings alumni game against a team representing The Well

Two weeks have passed since the Detroit Red Wings dealt four players at the trade deadline — that’s not much time — but enough for at least one of those players to make an impression. Jakub Vrana, whose two years with the Wings were marked by turbulence, has four goals in five games since a
Although he may not have coined the term, Steve Yzerman has been viewed with a microscope regarding every single move he has made with the Detroit Red Wings ever since he was appointed as the General Manager position in April 2019. The “Yzerplan” gave the city hope for the return of a dynasty on the
The Detroit Red Wings went into the season hoping that Moritz Seider and Ben Chiarot would be the team’s top pairing. After signing Ben Chiarot to a four-year, $19 million contract with a $4.75 million AAV to join the Red Wings’ defense core, he has regressed. Things have not worked out how the Detroit Red

Nashville — Strange to call Tuesday’s game a must-have game, considering where the Red Wings are in the standings, far enough from the playoff cutline to make it highly unlikely getting there, yet tantalizingly possible with a lengthy win streak. But it was, in a huge way. Playing an injury-riddled Nashville team that’s also dreaming
