Latest news and updates about the Red Wings
The Pittsburgh Penguins have positioned themselves nicely for a potential playoff spot with their back-to-back big wins against the New York Islanders and the Detroit Red Wings. On consecutive nights, the Penguins blew past their opponents to give themselves a much better chance of making the playoffs now than they had just 48 hours prior. […]
Pregame The Penguins welcome Evgeni Malkin back from a four-game absence with a hand injury, but they have a scratch so late it doesn’t make the lineup card. Bryan Rust does NOT play tonight after taking warmup, his lower body injury keeps him out so Avery Hayes is in the game in place with the […]
Talk about the game with Pens fans here!
The Detroit Red Wings have made a notable move, as they have signed top goalie prospect Trey Augustine to a three-year entry-level contract, which will kick in during the 2026-27 season. In addition, the Red Wings shared that Augustine has signed an amateur tryout (ATO) with the Grand Rapids Griffins for the remainder of the 2025-26 season. This is undoubtedly big news for the Red Wings, as Augustine is one of the best goalie prospects in hockey. Now, they will get their first chan...
Just listen to the coach. Todd McLellan is always good for a money quote, and the best one coming out of Monday’s practice, per MLive , was this: “You shouldn’t be trying to extract competitiveness or heaviness out of the players at this time.” That’s exactly it. Out of context, it’s a direct callout to the players. In full context (linked above), it may not have been quite as cutting — he’s answering a question on how to right the ship after a slide, and he talked about how the...

Game 74: Montreal Canadiens @ Tampa Bay Lightning Start time: 7:00 PM EDT / 4:00 PM PDT In the Canadiens region: TSN2 (English), RDS (French) In the Lightning region: The Spot Streaming: ESPN+, RDS, TSN+ The Tampa Bay Lightning were in a serious slump when the NHL schedule resumed after the Olympics, going 3-7-0 in the next 10 games, and the three wins were versus a shockingly bad Toronto Maple Leafs team which has since fired its GM, and the free-falling Detroit Red Wings. With two...

The Flyers are back in action tonight for the first game of this weekend’s back-to-back. They’ve taken this show on the road, heading to Detroit to face off against the Red Wings and looking to build on the momentum from Thursday’s huge win over the Blackhawks, and for a chance to remain right in the thick of the playoff race. It’s make-or-break time again, folks! Puck drop: 8:00 p.m. How to watch/listen: 📺: ABC 📻: 93.3 WMMR Pregame reading The kids have been showin...
It’s impossible not to overreact this time of year. Every loss feels like an insurmountable setback, every win a miracle. Unless, of course, the teams around you forget how to lose altogether, in which case winning feels more like treading water. There’s been quite a lot of panic this week, but I think if you told most Red Wings fans that Detroit would split a two-game slate this week at home against Ottawa and on the road against Buffalo — one of the teams that has outright rejected...
The Detroit Red Wings are becoming a team to watch in the NHL. Steve Yzerman has assembled a dynamic young core, who are starting to hit their stride, along with one of the best farm systems in the league. Yzerman made a move to acquire two-way defenceman Justin Faulk from the St. Louis Blues ahead of the trade deadline, and is hopeful his roster is balanced enough, and goaltending strong enough, to make some noise in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Looking ahead to this upcoming offseason, expect t...
Big game, must win, blahblahblah. I’m out of cliches, my tank is near empty, and I am simply asking for a win. The Red Wings don’t control their own destiny at this point, and they’re on the road in Buffalo tonight against a team that is, well, playing much better hockey this month. The Sabres are coming off of back-to-back losses (sounds familiar) and are likely going to be pissed off because of that. Or maybe they’re getting complacent at the top of the Atlantic and are about to go on a...
Steve Yzerman stood his ground as Detroit Red Wings general manager ahead of this season's trade deadline. Even though there was massive pressure on the Red Wings' GM to make a splash, or two, Yzerman kept declining trade offers that included sending any of his top three prospects out of town. Anthony Di Marco: Speaking with one executive whose team had trade discussions with Yzerman...the Red Wings were not willing to move any of their top prospects...Nate Danielson and goaltenders Seba...
In his first season with the Detroit Red Wings , third-pairing defenseman Jacob Bernard-Docker has impressed enough to convince the Wings to sign him up for more. As a pending RFA on an $875,000 one-year deal, Bernard-Docker has earned himself a two-year extension from Detroit, worth $3.2 million. He nearly doubles his salary to $1.6M annually. UPDATE: The #RedWings have signed Jacob Bernard-Docker to a two-year contract extension with an AAV of $1.6M. pic.twitter.com/FPlAjNMrv0 — Detroit Red ...
WE'RE IN A PLAYOFF SPOT
Another trade deadline has passed for the Detroit Red Wings . The scenario for the original six teams has been a hunt for the playoffs. Under Todd McLellan earlier in the year, they'd played lights-out hockey and were poised to dominate the Atlantic Division and the Eastern Conference. Since then, they lost their captain , Dylan Larkin, to injury. While he's returning tonight, at the end of the year, we might hear a common refrain we've heard from before. Larkin calling out ...
They never said it'd be easy...
Hey folks, long time, no write. We’re back to the time of year that every game feels like life or death, so given the stakes, we decided to bring back some game day coverage for the home stretch. Here’s hoping it gives the team the boost it needs. There are no moral victories with what’s on the line, but Detroit’s coming off of one of its most impressive games of the season in terms of offensive chances — missing its captain, no less — on Saturday against Boston. They weren’t able to solv...
The Detroit Red Wings were in the market for help at the trade deadline, but there was one line they did not want to cross. According to Anthony Di Marco of Daily Faceoff , Detroit was not willing to move any of its top prospects in deadline talks, even while looking for a major upgrade down the middle. The Red Wings and Steve Yzerman wanted to improve, but not at the cost of names like Nate Danielson, or either of their two blue-chip goalie prospects in Sebastian Cossa or Trey Aug...
A three-goal third period and a monster performance from Jeremy Swayman powered the B’s to their most important win of the season (for now), as they beat the Red Wings 4-2 in Detroit. When the B’s went down 2-1 just four minutes into the third via an Alex DeBrincat goal, you could be forgiven for […]
It’s Saturday night friends with a big divisional game on the line between the Boston Bruins and Detroit Red Wings both fighting for postseason play and positioning. Per the Bruins, there are no lineup changes tonight. We’ll see Lukas Reichel back in the lineup for his second game in the Black and Gold after an […]
First period Emmitt Finnie tries to chip the puck over Jakub Dobeš. He does so, but it bounces off the crossbar and goes behind the net. Cole Caufield fires one of his patented surprise shots from the goal line and John Gibson spins as he catches it but keeps himself out of the net. Juraj Slafkovský gets Montreal’s first great scoring chance off the ensuing faceoff thanks to a lobbed saucer pass across the top of the crease from Nick Suzuki. Brendan Gallagher tips a point...
Game 68: Montreal Canadiens @ Detroit Red Wings Start time: 7:00 PM EDT / 4:00 PM PDT In the Canadiens region: TSN2 (English), RDS (French) In the Red Wings region: FanDuel Sports Network Detroit Streaming: ESPN+, RDS, TSN+ Just a few days ago, all the talk in Montreal was about how they would work all their healthy forwards into the lineup, and made the decision to leave Brendan Gallagher in the press box for a game. Now, they’re dealing with an injury to Kirby Dach and tonigh...
