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.

It came as somewhat of a surprise when Detroit Red Wings general manager (GM) Steve Yzerman claimed goaltender Magnus Hellberg off waivers from the Seattle Kraken, but perhaps the insurance policy will be exercised sooner than later. Hellberg, 31, had a short stint with the Detroit Red Wings last season, making one start earning a
Detroit — This was a difficult road trip the Red Wings just completed, and they came out of it in decent shape. 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
Regardless of the reason, whether because a franchise lost their goaltenders to free agency or they explicitly chose to reshape their backend, there was a plethora of transactions centred around the role this past summer. Although not every move has caused the desired ripple effect for the respective roster, some acquisitions already stand out as
The Detroit Red Wings have been without Olli Maatta for a few games, meaning Gustav Lindstrom has been recalled and is stepping in with the team’s defense core.

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Ben Chiarot isn’t having a great first season with the organization. Red Wings general manager (GM) Steve Yzerman went into free agency hoping to fill some of the team’s glaring needs. The first order of business had been to add some much-needed depth scoring. The Detroit Red Wings didn’t just add
