The Detroit Red Wings will be three goaltenders deep as they begin a week that is at both light and compact. Magnus Hellberg was recalled Sunday evening from a stint in the minors.

They’ve been bumped out of the playoff bracket, but that’s more about uneven games played right now between teams. But at this point, a team wants to hang around and maintain positioning, and
David Perron has played a fraction of his 1,000 NHL games for the Detroit Red Wings, but that his milestone came with them befits his impact. In the twilight of his career, the 34-year-old has strengthened the Wings as they emerge from their rebuild. He is a combination of feisty and finesse; poised, productive and

Although not every move has caused the desired ripple effect for the respective roster, some acquisitions already stand out as
