“The tie goes to the veteran.” A classic hockey adage in the same vein as “We like our team” or “kicking tires” that Wings fans have a nearly-autonomous reaction to. It’s been used to shove a lot of questionable hockey decisions down our throats over the years and, in its various iterations, it doesn’t seem

Lucas Raymond is making it awfully hard for the Detroit Red Wings not to have him on their opening roster. He has used three exhibition games to lead the team in scoring, with two goals and four assists. He looks dangerous when he has the puck, poised to make something good happen with it. That
The Detroit Red Wings fell into an early 3-0 hole—and dug themselves out with four (4!) power play goals, only building the case for the some of players Wings fans have been clamoring for to make the team.

Detroit — Lucas Raymond is making it difficult for the Red Wings to keep him off the opening-night roster next week. The rookie continued his torrid pace Monday in the exhibition season with a goal and assist — and many more good plays — in the Wings’ 6-4 loss to Chicago. The Wings scored all four
The Detroit Red Wings did something they’ve rarely done in the past couple seasons: Look dangerous on the power play.

There’s no shortage of praise for Detroit Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman and what he has been able to do at the NHL Draft. He’s made some huge steals and moves that upset the expert rankings. In the 2021 offseason, he took Sebastian Cossa of the Edmonton Oil Kings 15th overall instead of Jesper
Detroit — Tyler Bertuzzi wasn’t in the Red Wings’ lineup for Monday’s exhibition game against the Chicago Blackhawks, and it’s unclear whether he’ll play in any of the three remaining exhibition games. Returning from back surgery, which essentially cost him all of last season, it would be good to have Bertuzzi play a warm-up game or two. But the
What’s The Grind Line? Apart from the once-famous line of Kris Draper, Kirk Maltby, and either Joe Kocur or Darren McCarty, The Grind Line is also The Hockey Writers’ weekly column about the Detroit Red Wings.

Jeff Blashill speaks to the media following the Red Wings 5-1 preseason loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The Red Wings aren’t going to win every exhibition game this preseason after all. Pittsburgh made sure of that with a 5-1 victory Sunday over the Wings at PPG Paints Arena, ending the Wings’ three-game win streak. Pius Suter (power play) scored on a two-man advantage at 15:46 of the first period. Otherwise it was the Penguins
