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.

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...

On February 27, 2024, the Detroit Red Wings won their sixth consecutive game by beating the Washington Capitals, turning what was a seven-point gap in the wild-card race to a nine-point edge. They then won only three of the final 15 games in the 2023-24 season. T...
The Detroit Red Wings are getting some much-needed help. The team announced before Saturday night’s game in Dallas that forward David Perron has been activated from injured reserve. He is active, and will play on the 2nd line with Marco Kasper and Lucas Raymond.

The Tampa Bay Lightning reassigned Steven Santini the Syracuse Crunch on Friday, a move that indicates Erik Cernak is ready to return to the line-up. The right-shot defenseman missed the Lightning’s win against Detroit on Thursday, but was listed as day-to-day by Coach Jon Cooper. It looks like he’s been upgraded as assistant coach Rob Zettler confirmed that Cernak is “good to go”.

The Tampa Bay Lightning aren’t going to let something as trivial as a trade deadline stop them from improving their franchise. While they were taking on the Detroit Red Wings on the ice last night, they were also making a deal with their opponents. Tampa Bay acquired defenseman Ian Mitchell from the Red Wings in exchange for forwards Michael Milne and Wojciech Stachowiak.
Yes, the NHL trade deadline has passed, but the AHL trade deadline rolls on until 3:00 PM today. With all three player...
The Tampa Bay Lightning finally beat a team not named the Toronto Maple Leafs. A 24-save performance from Andrei Vasilevskiy and two-goal efforts by Jake Guentzel and Gage Goncalves led the Lightning to a 4-1 victory over the Detroit Red Wings. Nikita Kucherov had a pair of assists to reach 1,100 points in his career. J.T. Compher had the lone goal for the Red Wings while John Gibson stopped 25-of-28 in the losing effort.
There were a couple of line-up changes as Darren Raddysh returned t...
Yes, we know the NHL trade deadline passed last Friday at 3:00pm Eastern. But trades can still be made with the restriction that p layers acquired after the deadline are ineligible to play in any remaining regular-season games or the Stanley Cup Playoffs for their new team. With that, the Detroit Red Wings and Tampa Bay Lightning completed a trade of three AHL players.

Here comes the cavalry… or something like that.
The Red Wings are down bad, man. No other way to put it. Not only did they piss away a very important two points in an epic collapse against the Florida Panthers Tuesday night (90 seconds of absolute hell), the team is now down their top two centers. Both Dylan Larkin and Andrew Copp are sidelined with lower-body injuries, and who the hell knows when either of them will return this season, if at all. You would expect to see some names like N...
Carter Verhaeghe scored a stunning pair of late markers to a turn a one-goal deficit into a 4-3 Florida Panthers win over the visiting Detroit Red Wings.
Down 3-2 with time running out and Daniil Tarasov on the bench, Verhaeghe took a crossing pass from Matthew Tkachuk and snapped off a seeing-eye shot through a mass of bodies in front, catching the left post and igniting the red light with 90 seconds remaining in regulation.
The winner came 1:15 later with Verhaeghe again providing ...
The Florida Panthers (31-29-3) will finish off a home and home againts the third-place Detroit Red Wings (36-21-7) tonight at Amerant Bank Arena in suburban Sunrise.
Matthew Tkachuk scored all the goals in Florida’s 3-1 win over Detroit in Motown on Friday to help his club halt a four-game losing streak. It was the sixth hat trick of Tkachuk’s career and his fourth since joining the Panthers. Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 28 shots and Carter Verhaeghe, Brad Marchard and Sam Reinhart contribute...
After last night’s loss to the Detroit Red Wings snapped New Jersey’s four-game winning streak, the season isn’t OVER, but it’s over. The Devils technically have some wiggle room to make the playoffs, but it would take a borderline undefeated run coupled with an epic collapse or two by Eastern Conference teams to get them […]
No-trade clauses became the big topic of discussion around and after the trade deadline this year. And for good reason. It's become exceedingly apparent that there are a whole lot of them around these days. And teams want to see something done about it eventually. Additionally, there were also plenty of vetoed trades that seemed to stymie a lof of the action we normally see at the deadline. Colton Parayko said no to the Buffalo Sabres ; Tyler Myers vetoed a trade to the Detroit Red Wings...
